Review on Homevative Bamboo Shoe Bench by Dee Rawls

Revainrating 2 out of 5

NOT easy to assemble.

I would return it in a heartbeat if I bought it. As soon as I got the box off the porch I realized that this wasn't a good item, it was too light. When I unpacked the parts, the first thing that struck me was how thin the seat is. The board under the padded seat is very thin and I could bend it with my bare hands. If someone over 100 pounds sits on it, it will likely break. Then there are its claims of ease of assembly. There are no pre-drilled holes for the included screws on the underside of the seat. This is NOT a simple build. You need an electric screwdriver to screw in wood screws. I see it as a decorative element, not a usable piece of furniture. I would let my young grandchildren sit on it when we put their shoes on to go home, but not as adults.

Pros
