Plus, they say it’s a classic design that suits any style or decor. “This is probably one of the most liked and complimented pieces of furniture that our visitors see when they arrive at and leave our home,” the shopper writes. “It has been perfect for the space we envisioned to fill after we purchased our new home. It was easy to set up, sturdy, and leveled, and it gives a message to say, ‘Hey, please remove your shoes and place them temporarily here.’ We are a family of five and all of our outside shoes and slippers fit well in the space…It supports me and is the perfect height when I sit down. The black color is neutral and goes well with any background.”
