Very nice piece!!! Very solid...it is large but fits well in the entryway...large, but arranged well!
It is a beast to put together...the instructions are good and clearly labeled parts and hardware all there...but still not an easy feat...it took me hours and I consider myself extremely well versed in the art of assembling furniture! .Love it though once together!!
It is nicer than in the pictures and 2 people can sit comfortably without it budging...
My only complaint is I wish the hooks were a bit larger or there were more of them, but maybe less is more in this case lol...
Very happy with it! Ive always wanted one for my home and this is wonderful!
This is heavy, like really heavy, I think the particle board they made it out of must be mostly glue.
The particle board chips easier than I would like, already is an issue on one corner.
The hooks they provide are so tiny, they should be longer and wider. In fact I am going to replace them.
Assembly is not hard, but it took one person 1.5 hours with about 15 min of help from a second person.
Big shoes are hard to fit. My son wears a 12, and they really do not fit unless you put them in sort of sideways. I think I would actually rather that these were drawers as the shoe mechanism takes up too much space and the shoes tend to get caught at the top when you try to close it. If everyone in your family wears smaller than a mens size 9 you might be ok with the design.
It is sturdy once assembled.
Nice to have a shelf across the top.
I like that the bench is taller as does the aforementioned size 12 shoe son, but for kids or shorter women it is too tall. They cannot sit on it and have one foot down for balance to put on shoes.
Right now it is priced at 179. I think a lot of this must be the transport cost, because this is a teeny bit below quality and more expensive.
This Hall Tree fit in our Mudroom perfect. The color is nice. And is very sturdy. I had an issue with shipping and Shirley took care of that for me instantly. Customer service is great. They have some great items to choose from!!
The 68 Entryway Bench looks as shown in the photos. The assembly was quite the to-do and took around 2 hours. My husband is very good at assembling and he said that it is straightforward. Although, there was a substantial amount of screwing, and by the time he was done he did have blisters even while wearing a glove.
The bench looks as shown although it did have red paint on the inside of one of the boards that is visible. There was a minor scratch on one of the wood pieces. The drawers open from the top outward and need the dividers inserted in order to close. We found that we preferred one of the drawers to have just one divider for more storage. I do think it is worth considering as long as you dont mind the assembly.
This is an okay bench for the price ($139.99), but does have some quality issues that you would expect for an item this cheap. That being said, this still offers a fair bit of storage for one piece of furniture and is small enough to fit in smaller homes. Additionally, it is true to the listed dimensions and easy to clean.
Assembly on this is intermediate level and time consuming (1.5 to 2 hours). The instructions could be better, but are relatively clear as long as youre careful to read ahead. While one person can do this alone, it is easier to have a second person to help with some steps such as attaching the assembled top to the base or putting on the bench top.
My cons on this unit are the height of the bench, small shoe storage and hooks, and poor material. The bench on this is quite tall to accommodate the shoe storage, making it difficult for taking off or putting on shoes if youre average height or shorter. This may not be an issue, or may even be a pro, if youre tall.
As well as being too tall, the shoe storage is quite small. While the largest section of the shoe storage can comfortably accommodate sneakers, the smaller ones can only fit flats or sandals. This is an issue in my farm household where we mostly wear muck boots and work boots, but may work well for a different household.
In addition to small shoe compartments, the hooks are quite small as well. They should work well with smaller jackets and hoodies, but may struggle with large jackets or many smaller jackets.
My final con is the quality. While the assembled unit is relatively sturdy, its material is not. This particle board is particularly flimsy and easy to accidentally dent or crumble. Additionally, the veneer is also easy to scratch and ding. I dont expect this to stand up to time or heavy use.
Overall, even with my quality concerns, this is about what I would expect for the price. I do wish that it was shorter and had larger shoe storage, but this isnt bad if youre tight on space or budget and need extra storage for your mud room or entryway.
This is great for getting shoes out of the way and coats hung up. Im happy with the quality. Price is good for what you get. I would recommend this hutch, for sure.
I am so tired of looking for my childrens and husbands shoes. So I got this to help them be able to drop them where they need to be when you walk in as well as a place for their jackets! It was easy to assemble is a great size and keeps things organized as long as they arent lazy enough to use it!!
Loving this entryway jacket and shoe holder with a bench. Such good quality and I was not expecting that due to the cost. This is a great deal.
The shoe drawers are awesome and have individual shelves inside the roll out drawers themselves. So great.
I will say that putting this together was a chore and not easy for my hubby. It took him over an hour and the screws and such were a bit overwhelming. Once it was all done, it is beautiful.
Highly recommend but you will need to put some time aside to assemble it.

Very heavy. Sturdy. Bench is tall. Larger shoes do not fit well. Came with some minor chipping.

Attractive-Lengthy assembly -Sturdy and beneficial for storage and organization
