I want to get this for the door of an apt. I am just wondering if this will look out of place like a seat vs a shoe storage/bench

I think it's versatile. It is wider than a bench so if you are looking for a standard bench storage you might not like it. It would be a great solution tho if you want to sit in comfort. I think Home Decorators catalog has some great shoe benches also.

If the area surrounding this bench is large it would be great! It is large and heavily padded. Keep in mind that the color is not dark brown , but is cordovan!

We use it as a replacement for a coffee table. You might want a skinnier one. I would take a look at the measurements for what you want.

I'm not sure I understand your purpose but I can say that it has a very rich look to it. The lid opens to the storage compartment which is fairly large. I think it can double as a "coffee/cocktail" table as well. Hope this helps.

My wife and I think it is a great looking bench. It is not lightweight by any stretch of the imagination but it is lighter than the Coaster Storage. Mine is a black faux leather but it looks great in my bedroom. I feel I got lucky with this purchase. This one also is smaller than the other one so you have to consider that. Tough to pick since I like the look of both

We just use it for extra clothing storage or linen. We sit on it to put shoes on, my husband is 220 , we haven't had any issues. I wouldn't go standing on it though!

I assembled it. It was not difficult. I love the look of it and the fact that it can be moved around in the shower, unlike built in benches. Do not use it as a foot stool!

I have this one and the longer sofa style ones on my front porch to use as package storage. I live in town and if passers by see my packages the boxes walk off. I explained to my mail man and ups driver that I prefer they place my packages inside the seat and I will check it ( Since many orders have tracking, I am aware I have a package coming). So far it has worked fine.

The bend of the hooks fits over the top of the door....that portion that comes over the top of the door lies flat against the door, so that means the other side of the door has the hook end..and the hook end is where you hang the actual shoe organizer. Just put the three hooks atop the open door..you'll then see that the organizer has to hang on the curled end of those same hooks. That's about the best way I can describe it. Hopefully an instruction sheet with a picture of the finished product came with your shoe organizer

It is very sturdy and would have space for many books. I use it as a toy box, I guess it could be used as a foot rest but it is quite big and on e filled it's not very easy to move about, hope this helps you.

No, it is a freestanding unto similar to what you would find at a gym, only not as fancy. I recommend setting it up in a perminant place, it is difficult to move

Yes, it will sit straight up. It's very comfortable. If you are using it on bleachers, it will take a bit of room, so beware of that. I am ok with this, because I like my personal space. I love mine.

Yes. This is how I usually use it if I don't plan on utilizing the seating benches. It's slightly more stable and faster to set up and take down.

I would not buy this bench. The bottom is not solid. It's a cheap piece of board that does not fit all the way across the bottom of the storage unit. My stuff falls out and you can see it hanging out. I even had a new piece sent to me thinking I got a bad one and the 2nd piece fit the same.

It can be used as seating. And it hold an adult who is removing shoes. Hope this helps.

I have this shoe rack too and found that it was VERY easy to put together. I would unscrew the screws and put the rack together the way it's supposed to be done, using the screws they give you. It really worked for me.

I use it in our closet and am very happy with it. I have received lots of compliments and love that I can store stuff in it. For the price it's exactly what I wanted. If you are looking to use it as seating I'm not sure that would be wise but as accent furniture and a temporary spot to sit it is perfect. And no it is not plastic or cheap looking

It is large enough, but as I said in my review, this product is the most poorly constructed item I have ever ordered from Amazon (in my opinion) and I wouldn't use it to store my shoes... let alone recommend to someone else that they should buy it for any purpose. Good luck if you decide to purchase it.

You have a lot of storing space, do not worry...IT IS A PERFECT PIECE OF FURNITURE!

I don't think it would be sturdy enough. I have a martha stewart bench that has shoe storage by my door. Got it in Home Depot.
