This was for a laundry room that leads out to the garage. We wanted a shoe bench here but didnt have a lot of depth. This bench fit the bill. It did take a while to put together, and as others said, the hinges were the worse part. The directions dont really tell you that you need to adjust the hinges in the middle part of the hinge parts. Look for videos on this in other reviews. If you are experienced with assembling this type of furniture, it will go easy. If not, then you need to watch some videos. I highly recommend installing with a drill to save time and energy. The bench itself is sturdy, but we are small people. It fits shoes underneath, and you can store other things in the compartment under the seat.
Fits perfectly into our small laundry room
