This is a strongly built shoe bench with an attractive oak finished top. I bought it in the sale at a very good price for a pre assembled piece of furniture. It can be placed in the hall or bedroom depending on what it is used for. The only downside is that, it cannot take adult sized shoes above size 5/6. This was my fault as I realised the possibility of this being the case but I was so keen to buy one at the sale price and for its strong build. Each box will take three pairs of ladies shoes but no more than size 5/6. A very attractive piece of furniture which I am pleased with.
