This RTA shoe storage bench is exactly what I needed. Assembly was simple, and I managed to put it together on my own without any issues—no missing components, screw holes, dents, or scratches. The minimalist design blends seamlessly with any home decor style.The bench’s size is perfect—I placed it in my garage, and it doesn’t block the walkway. The cushion is well-made and stays securely in place without looking baggy. The lift-top storage provides extra space, perfect for storing my 2-year-old’s toddler shoes. She even enjoys climbing up the bench and putting her shoes away herself! I also appreciate the buffer hinges on the lift-top, which give me peace of mind while she’s using it.Lastly, this bench is sturdy. At 240+ lbs, I feel well-supported when sitting on it. Highly recommend this product!
