Promising review: "This shoe rack fits my needs and looks nice in my entryway. I am one of those people who takes off their shoes immediately upon arriving home. That has meant having shoes cluttering the floor. This rack gives me a place to put them out of the way. I have a place upstairs where I keep shoes I don’t wear often, but for my cycling, gym and everyday shoes, this is perfect. It is sturdy and would definitely work to use as a bench, but the top serves as a third shelf for my gym bag and weekly food pantry items. It was easy to assemble, and doesn’t wobble. Each shelf holds 3 pairs of my size 9 wide shoes. I like that it does the job without being overly large or in the way. The price is a good value considering that it doubles as a bench." —R. L.

Promising review: "Love this shoe bench! Super clean and neat looking and fits most size shoes well. Comfy cushion on top to make it a bench also , and very easy to build!" —Frank

Promising review: "We needed a bench with storage for our loft-like apartment. This bench fit the bill. As others have stated, the instructions were mostly comprised of pictures but we were able to eventually figure it out. I wish the rungs under the bench allowed enough height to store short boots rather just shoes. The storage inside the bench is sufficient to store gloves, ear warmers, and winter hats. Aesthetically, the bench is very appealing and seems to be holding up well." —Jennifer & Sydney Cardy

Promising review: "Its minimalist design is partly why I like it. Anything obtrusive would overwhelm the space. The other reason I like it — it holds all 5 pairs of my most often worn, everyday shoes!! Formerly, I found myself feeling annoyed several times a day for stumbling over shoes at my tiny apartment's entrance (which also happens to be my kitchen). Now the floor is clear AND clean. Assembly? What assembly? I simply took out my screwdriver and installed 4 little screws, connecting the bottom of the rack to its top. Voila! And, as far as I can see, durability shouldn't be an issue for years to come (barring a loose screw, it comes with one spare). I only wish I'd found this little rack months ago. I'm very happy with my purchase." —Pamela

Promising review: "This really did go above and beyond. The instructions were so easy. I put it together myself and it was sturdy and fits behind my front door so nicely. It looks clean and even kind of fancy...which let's be honest, who thought anyone could say that about a shoe rack. The bonus of all of this is that my family actually uses it. I haven't tripped over a pair of shoes in days. I am a new person. Did I mention it came with its own screwdriver? It does! And it's not a terrible one either! I used it and it worked. What planet am I even living on right now! 5 stars and I would have given it 6 if that were a choice." —Bobbijean S.

Promising review: "LOVE this shoe rack!! I was looking for something sturdy to be a catchall in our laundry room where we always enter the house and our shoes tended to pile up. But also didn’t want it to be tacky because visitors also mostly use this door. This was PERFECT. I used two and was able to secure them together. It holds a lot of shoes and looks as nice as a shoe rack could possibly look. The fact that I can put something decorative on the top of the surface is what makes the biggest difference! Would 100% buy this again!" —Mel

Promising review: "I was looking for a smallish bench that could be sat on and be used in a little entryway location. The price was so reasonable that I didn't expect this bench to be the best. WRONG! It is simply lovely and very well made. Don't let the fair price fool you because this is an amazing value on a HIGH quality item! I really appreciate the fact that there are waterproof plastic covers inside of the slots inside the bench. That way muddy boots, wet mittens, dirty dog leashes etc will not damage the beautiful bamboo. If you prefer, the divider is also removable. The stunning, linen cushioned seat is very comfortable also and holds up to 225 pounds I believe. It is a nice place to sit and tie your sneakers on your way out for a run. My cats and dogs also like to sit there. It's just a fabulous piece and I am so glad I got it immediately. If you love it, don't hesitate. It's awesome!" —Customer

Promising review: "These shoe racks have changed my daily life in a very good way. I used to root around for my shoe collection that had grown well beyond what my current rack could hold. It was so frustrating which typically meant I’d give up and rarely wear the shoes I could never get to or see. I love that these racks stack so perfectly on top of one another to save space. I was worried because I saw so many reviews writing about how flimsy or fragile they were — they are pretty solid. Take your time, use the key provided, and don’t try to speed the process with a drill that could cause the bamboo to split. Give the screws all one final tighten once you’ve built the rack. Easy to put together, surprisingly sturdy, and worth every penny!!!!!" —Kristy

Promising review: "My wife and I bought this item to store frequently worn shoes in our entry hallway. We can also comfortably sit on the bench to remove or put on shoes. The capacity worked out to a total of four pairs of shoes (one pair/shelf ). Mid or high top shoes/sneakers did not work out well (the doors could not close). The item looks good and it was not difficult to assemble. I would recommend this purchase!" —Zantastic 66

Promising review: “This bench is a wonderful addition to the house decor and a very practical one as well. It makes the hallway look clean, well organized. We use one of them to store some board games, the other one for shoes that we wear daily. This bench is comfortable to sit on while putting your shoes on. It feels sturdy too. We get a lot of compliments on these benches. We got two of them, to fit our hallway and that space under the windows. Great purchase!” –ASL

Promising review: "This is such an incredible little piece of furniture. It is so easy to assemble, extremely sturdy, and looks absolutely gorgeous. I had purchased it to put at the foot of my bed to place pillows and blankets on. I wanted something that was rustic and small. This piece of furniture is absolutely outstanding and it’s a beauty. After placing the first one at the foot of my bed, I ordered a second one to function as a shoe rack in the main hallway. I love that it is slick, that it looks good, and that it is truly a rustic piece of furniture. Plus, Prime delivery gets here in no time at all." —Roy Ham Roy
