This is a great little shoe rack bench!! It arrived quickly and came with all the parts and pieces (it came with 1 extra of each of the screws and washers and bolts) and it was very easy to assemble. My husband didn't even have to help me! It is exactly as shown in the pictures. I read some reviews that stated that the bench was a really rough wood. While it is not smooth like a finished desktop, it is not horribly rough either. No splinters!! It is semi rustic with a beautiful color wood and I like that the screws are a darker color that blend in more with the wood than some of the other benches I looked at where the screws were silver and stuck out like a sore thumb. It is a simple bench which looks beautiful in our brand new home. JUST WHAT I NEEDED for the owner's entry from the garage. The bench also serves as a great place to put groceries when I go out to get more from the car instead of putting them on the floor, or to put things that I need to take with me the next time I go out. I would recommend this bench to anyone looking for a smaller bench with a place to put a few pairs of shoes. I think it would hold at least 4 pairs of my husbands shoes and a pair of tall boots also. Oh, I sat on it and it did not break!!
