Other reviewers were right when they said it took a lot of strength to get some of the screws to line up accordingly / but, my husband and I were able to build this and like using it. Its perfect for our space near the front door and stores our shoes well, organizing them in a visually pleasing way. I specifically chose this brand shoe bench because of the padded seat (padded and easy to wipe down), and the fact that the shoe shelves allow for any dirt to fall off the shoes and onto the floor, making it easy to sweep away (unlike if the shoes were stored in cubbies and each had to be wiped down from the inside out individually).
organizes shoes in a visually pleasing way!
