Prepac White Shoe Cabinet, Entryway Bench, Mud Room Organization and Storage Bench with 18 Shoe Cubbies 16"D x 48"W x 24"H

Took more than a few minutes to assemble. Instructions were a little underwritten, however, we got it figured out. The top and bottom pieces of the shoe rack are sturdy (yes I know questionable since it is MDF material) but once assembled, the shoe rack is very sturdy and heavy too. Takes two people to carry. The shoe slots themselves are a little thinner material so don’t go beating them up by trying to shove your shoes into the rack. The slots are a little small. Ladies ballerina flats, sandals, flip flops, ked type shoes fit no problem. However, regular running sneaks require one slot per shoe. Men’s shoes may require the same spacing, one slot per shoe. So when you are looking at this rack to count how many pairs of shoes it will hold, keep in mind, the larger the foot, you will have to count half of the slots. So if this holds 24 pairs (of smaller shoes), you will have 12 pairs (of larger shoes). Boots do not fit in this shoe rack either. Even though it sounds like I am pointing out the limitations to this product, I actually think for the price (purchased during a holiday sale) it’s decent quality. Looks classy and clean in a light painted room or closet. The plus side to this long shoe rack is that you can convert the top into a bench or hold extra storage on top. Would recommend to persons needing shoe storage. I was skeptical at first when purchasing, but I actually really like the product. Just wish the individual shoe slots were a little bit bigger.

This shoe storage bench shipped with all the components required in a well-padded box with no damaged parts. The white finish was unharmed in all areas. The bench was very easy to assemble, and the instructions were clear. The material is MDF and the total weight is around 70 lbs. This is a "budget" or "value" piece of furniture, but it works well and is sturdy. I think it is a great value. The design even includes a thoughtful cutout to accommodate a baseboard - however, in the location I put this, my baseboards are too high (4-1/4"), but it will certainly accommodate the standard 3-1/2" to 3-3/4" baseboards. This is a great design touch because it will allow the bench to be flush against a wall of your choosing. I agree with other reviewers that the show cubbies themselves are a little under-sized, but it is not difficult to get a pair of shoes in the cubbies by having one flipped opposite of the other, or one sideways and one upright. Obviously, if you have bigger shoes or lots of boots, buy a bench with bigger cubbies.

It took about a week to receive this bench. The box is very heavy when it arrives. All parts were there, everything looked perfect and the directions were great. I would estimate it took my husband 45 minutes to an hour to assemble this. He did not have any problems with assembly. The product is excellent. It was the perfect height, width, and length to fit in my entryway. It does not look cheap and it is functional. I personally feel the sizes of the cubbies are great. I feel there is a *slight* misrepresentation with the photo that is displayed. The top row cubbies are slightly smaller than the others are. In the photo, it gives the impression that all cubbies are the same dimension and this is not true. However, for me, this was not a huge issue because I have a toddler and his shoes fit perfectly in the smaller top row. I am able to fit one pair of my shoes in one cubby.My husband has very large work boots and he does need to put one shoe in one cubby for his work boots. My teenage son is able to put both of his shoes in one cubby. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. It's nice having a functional entryway where we can sit on the bench to put on our shoes, but it also serves as a shoe organizer and looks nice. EDIT 5/30/2013: Per another consumer's response, I need to revise the post that, in fact, the cubbies are the same size. In an error, when installing the product, the cubbies were installed up-side down, making the top row, incorrectly smaller, than the bottom row. For true representation and review of this product, if installed correctly, the cubbies are the same size.

I love how many shoes this bench can hold - it’s perfect for keeping our garage closet organized and managing overflow footwear. The construction is high quality and very sturdy; it feels like it will last for years. My only minor complaint is that the individual shoe slots are a little narrow, so larger men’s shoes can be a snug fit. Still, it works well overall, and the bench itself is a great height for sitting while putting on shoes. The finish looks nice and fits seamlessly into our space. Highly recommend for anyone looking to maximize shoe storage while adding a functional piece of furniture!

I had been looking for a bench that could also hold shoes as the start of project to create a space inside the door to allow my guests and myself to unload our effects, coats, and shoes before entering the rest of the house. I found this bench and had been keeping an eye on it for a couple of months before purchasing it on sale. Having read the reviews and noting the concerns about residue on the shelfes and, in some cases, delays in shipping, I decided that I wasn't concerned with either issues and waited for the package to arrive. When it did arrive (only a day or two past the expected window of delivery, not bad)I perused the instruction sheets, matched and layed out the parts - making sure everything was there, and gathered the tools I needed to finish assembly (a screwdriver and a hammer). Everything was pretty straight foward but I would like to note that when it comes time to assemble the interlocking boards that make up the cubbies, pay attention to how the slots match up as they are slightly off center on the verticle boards. By this I mean that I had trouble sliding the entire assembly into the frame, it wouldn't budge. I took it out and visually inspected it and discovered that some of the boards which I had assumed were able to be put in either way, instead had an orientation that wasn't indicated on them or in the assmbly manual. The fix was to simply take those boards off, turn them so that what would have been on the bottom was on the top and re-fit them back into the grooves. Piece of cake. Assembly time was about 30 - 45 minutes as I took my time to ensure that I did a proper job and wouldn't make any mistakes. Very easy to put together with basic, common tools. I plan to add a bench cushion to top for a little extra comfort and splash of color. Fits most of my shoes together in one cubby per pair but there are enough cubbies that I can spare an extra one or two for the pairs that won't fit into one.

This was pretty easy to put together. Heavy box. Only took me 30 minutes give or take. Nice quality. It looks good and serves its purpose. Pair of sneakers fit easily. If you are trying to fit boots and what not you may run into a problem. The value for the money is great. Storage capacity is excellent. Much much better than the door hanger I bought before this. I would reccomend this product.

Easy to put together, pretty and we love it.

This shoe bench is exactly the thing I needed to complete a concept on one of the walls in my dressing room. The quality is great- this piece is solid, fairly heavyweight (the box said 75lbs.), and was easy to put together with the assistance of a friend. The bench came well packed and delivery was easy. It took less than an hour to put together and only required a couple of hand tools (phillips head screw driver and a hammer). It will definitely support the weight of 2 people sitting to put on their shoes. I wear a ladies size 7 and all of my flats fit perfectly in the slots. I can see how someone with much larger feet will struggle with this bench. Overall, a great buy and I cannot wait to continue styling this area of my dressing room!

We're a small family (4 members), but we have LOTS of shoes (mostly our kids). The entry closet was always a mess of towers of shoes haphazardly built during desperate attempts at finding pairs. Also, our youngest loved to crawl inside the closet and toss everything around like popcorn. With the cubby in place all shoes now have a home and the closet looks so tidy and nice! Bonus - our youngest no longer fits in there, so no more popcorn shoes. The slots are on the small side indeed, with larger shoes requiring their own slot, but for us that's not a problem since the kids' shoes fit well together in the same spot. The cubby was easy enough to put together by one person. Two small issues I had with it: - it has a very strong smell in the beginning - we still have to air out the closet from time to time, but it's getting fainter; - the slats that for the shoe holes are actually completely separate from the rest of the cubby, you just plop them in at the end - that makes me doubt its sturdiness a bit, but for now it's holding up just fine. All in all, for our purposes it was a very good purchase and I'm really happy with it!

This was easy to build. The finish of the wood on the top of bench is nice. Each slot fits one pair of shoes or small boots. It is very sturdy once assembled and looks quite nice in our entry way. Very happy with this purchase.

This is a really nice looking bench for the price. It is ridiculously easy to put together...especially if you have experience building furniture. I agree with other reviews and I feel that the cubby holes are too small...my son’s size 7 Jordans don’t fit...I had to put one shoe per cubby...not a big deal...just weird that the holes are so small. I am very happy with the quality and the overall look. Not 5 stars because the cubby holes are too small.

Excellent purchase. Sturdy & nice looking

It's nice except the shoe hole are not big enough for runners!
