I had bought a third of these benches being thrilled with the look and durability. The one I bought less than a year ago (Dec. 2020 and updating Nov 2021) has had a door split off from the joint. The hinge suddenly became stiff and the door split. I hardly open this as it’s holding future shoes for my child, so the hinge shouldn’t have stopped flexing. I have invested $600 in this product and would love some assistance from .
*********************************
In exploring dual storage and seating options for our future son’s room, I did a lot of research. This shoe organizer won through all the research. It was an investment purchasing two, but I knew it would be a good one. We chose not to put the shelves in the units at all to keep maximum toy/miscellaneous storage capability. Reasons that stood out as why this was a great option: Up to 330lb weight support on each bench, the cushion cover is washable, free returns if there is a problem, classy clean look as doors cover whatever atrocities might be within, solid look and feel. My husband and I assembled side by side. It took about 90min total. The feel is sturdy and look is pleasing! My only wish is that the divider between the left and right compartments were painted white. When the doors are open, brown particle board is exposed. I intend on painting this. Because it’s not initially visible, it’s fine with me. We are VERY pleased with this purchase and hope it continues to impress us.
Got an update on this one…
