On one hand, I can see why this product gets great reviews. It looks nice and fits well in a small space. On the other hand, I feel the display picture is deceptive. There are nine cubbies for shoes, which from the picture creates the appearance a pair can be stored within each cubby. This might be the case for kids shoes or flip flops. However, for a regular men’s size shoes, two shoes will not fit in the holes regardless of how you squish them. In this event, you are relegated to one shoe per cubby, which is annoying. There are 9 cubbies, which mean you have space for 4.5 pairs. This is clearly a design flaw, which didn’t bother me much at first but has become more and more annoying. At this point, its too late to return it, but I would if I could.
If you have a very small space, then you may still want to purchase this because it is nice looking, and there aren’t many options with these dimensions. But if you have a little more space, I would recommend to keep looking. I thought I needed something this small but could have actually accommodated something a little longer and taller.
Right size for what we wanted but quality is fair. Had scuff makes when it arrived. Had to screw it to the wall so it dont pull over. You get what you pay for. Made in china.
Let me start by saying I’m a machine tech and a auto mechanic I have put together hundreds of pieces of furniture in my life time so I’m warning you there is a quality control issue with the company making this shoe bench. I always start by making sure all pieces and hardware are in the box and checking the instructions to match the pieces are there , before I begin to save me headaches later .with that being said I found right away a issue none of the pieces had the label stickers telling what piece was what so I ended up looking at the instructions pictures to guess what piece the instructions where telling me to use for the most part that system worked , but I’m thinking this would be bad for someone that have never or rarely puts particle board wood furniture together because I end up putting several pieces myself in the wrong orientation because several of the pieces look exactly the same but they where left and right side and would not become apparent until you need to line holes up and screw together with other parts and the holes are on the wrong side after a couple times of this happening which caused for taking sections apart that you had finished to correct this issue which became frustrating and time consuming something of this size you would expect to take around 2 -3 hours turned into 4-5 but if you do manage to get to the end of installation without breaking anything because of the unscrewing and retighting to the particle board which can damage easy if not taking your time to make sure it’s straight the whole way in also as mentioned by others the shoe cubbies are made of thin 1inch laminate board that goes together like a jig saw puzzle which I found after no clear instructions to do so do the middle piece first then both ends and then the rest . ,with all the difficulties the end product is sturdy and nice looking as pictured would I buy from this company again no
Nice solid hall tree. One big issue though is that there were several stickers on the pieces and when they were removed, it peeled off the paint! Very frustrating to have a brand new piece of furniture with a glaring section of missing paint Of course it is a section that is very visible. If it wasn’t completely assembled it would probably be returned.
It’s an ok piece I ordered this because it was cheap and I need something for my kids bag packs I wish I would have waited lol over all it’s a good buy just not my style

Looks nice, but shoe cubbies are not large enough for an adult pair

Package
I only received one box not 2! What do I do?
Fair quality

Sturdy and beautiful but instructions are a headache (read review save you some time)

Don’t do it
Horrible assembly and not sturdy enough
Removing stickers removes paint
Nice solid hall tree. One big issue though is that there were several stickers on the pieces and when they were removed, it peeled off the paint! Very frustrating to have a brand new piece of furniture with a glaring section of missing paint Of course it is a section that is very visible. If it wasn’t completely assembled it would probably be returned.
Decent but not great
Looks reasonably good but instructions could have been clearer and time consuming to assemble.
corner end chipped off. Cheaply made.
Hooks are not in a sturdy enough material to actually hold much weight.
It’s whatever
It’s an ok piece I ordered this because it was cheap and I need something for my kids bag packs I wish I would have waited lol over all it’s a good buy just not my style
It’s MDF not wood
It’s looks great but it’s MDF. I wanted it for my garage to hang rain coats and such but since it’s MDF it won’t work for the purpose of my purchase.
