From unboxing, directions are straight forward and simple. I will say, at some point you might need an extra set of hands. This is a heavy duty entry way coat rack/bench storage unit. No damage to the wood in shipping which is also a bonus so it is very well packed. Pay close attention to all instructions and you will have no issues assembling this. From start to finish took me about 45 minutes and my husband only had to help me with one part, when it came to attaching the top to the bottom. I absolutely love it and I would also love to say that I purchased this for what it is intended for, however, I didnt. I will state I have always wanted one because my kids shoes are a hot mess, I found other resolutions for that and training, no, for this piece I got it for extra storage for my side-gig. I needed extra storage and organization for all of my art supplies, I have tons of canvases that I needed storage for, I needed the hanging hooks to put some of my tools that I use that come in bags with straps, I have boxes full of glass containers and tumblers/coffee mugs that I just had randomly sitting everywhere and I needed a safe place to store them that was heavy duty enough the hold the weight of all of that. This piece is absolutely gorgeous no matter what your need for it is. I am so glad I got this and I would buy another if the need ever came up. The storage shelving on the bottom has a fluid movement when you open it and it closes quite easily, but smoothly. I love that they made it to where you can put those slats/shelves in an adjustable position should your needs change. This is where I have all of my canvas, some of my vinyl packs, empty picture frames, etc. I cannot go on and on enough about this. The hooks are strong and hold quite a bit of weight. I absolutely recommend this Bench/Rack. I hope this review is helpful- do yourself a favor and grab it!
