This bench is not real wood, it's wood effect particle board. There's no mention of this in the description. It's not worth £98 for particle board but unfortunately it got assembled before I arrived home and could send it back.

Nice looking piece of furniture with plenty of storage for shoes. Easy to put together too. Want to buy a second one.

Great back door bench. Holds roughly 4 pairs of shoes. Sturdy and looks neat.

everything is perfect, solid material, and very easy to assemble.

Perfect
