Review on 🛋️ Brown Modern Industrial Entryway Bench with Shoe Storage by Whitmor by Sarah Phillips

I am so happy I bought this product. One of the reasons I chose this listing is that I've been very lucky with two purchases of Whitmor's Revain kitchen trolleys. This third purchase has increased my confidence in their products. It was an easy assembly (it would have been easier if I had been more attentive to the process - see below). The end result looks good and works well for me. I even added a few baskets to better suit my needs and expand my decor theme. My two disappointments are (1) the panels are not real solid wood (like kitchen carts) but really high quality veneer. Unless I'm looking at it from 6 inches away I can't tell (I'm just a purist). (2) The little hooks look really cool, except they each have a small hole in them, which I don't think is visually appealing. Again, I can't see them from afar. They provide you with hardware for wall mounting, but that's not allowed in my rental, and since I don't have kids, I found it a good compromise to just raise the front wheels higher than the rear wheels so they're leaning against the wall. I gave it a strength factor of 4 stars because it wobbles a bit on top and I think it would be unsafe without a wall mount, but I've fixed that issue with my settings - since it's pressing against the wall. will give you head on instructions. Although they are actually very easy to follow, they have one flaw and one flaw. So remember this and save time and effort: 1.) Do not fully tighten the hex head screws until each adjacent item is aligned and installed. Maybe you have the knowledge of a carpenter. If not, this concept applies especially to me when I decided to add a wooden bench, wooden slats and a top horizontal tube. That being said, it would make my build easier not to fully tighten either one until adjacent factors are connected. At the end, simply tighten everything down, leaving room and finesse to add to each element in the assembly (except for assembling the bench's horizontal planks). 2.) Directions are numbered, but they go top-to-bottom, not left-to-right. So if you're turning the page to read the second one and are so excited that you're about to complete it, don't do what I did and read step nine before step 6. The instructions are clear though and in English as I usually read left to right , I forgot to pay attention to the numbers in the steps as I scrolled through the page (sections have no defined fields). Luckily I didn't fix it to the wall before proceeding to step 6 or I would have been ###.
