SONGMICS Organizer Entryway Bedroom ULBS04WL Reviews Summary

Assembly

Pros:

• "Came in exactly when it said it would. Instructions were easy enough to follow."
• "It's very simple to put together."
• "Super easy to assemble."
• "Easy to assemble by myself (took about a half hour), and they included a few extra pieces of hardware in case you drop one down the register."
• "This shoe rack was easy to assemble. It only took me about 20 minutes to put together."
• "The instructions were intuitive and user friendly."
• "The instructions are clear and assembling took me only like 10 minutes."

Cons:

• "I waited too long to put this together. Return window is closed. 2 of the screws won't stay in."
• "Relatively easy to assemble - my set contained a quality control failure - one of the legs did not have fully drilled holes."
• "Assembly was easy, but way more time consuming than it needs to be for a simple shoe rack."
• "The holes do not line up so when you get the the bottom shelf, the screws don't line up with the holes so there is no way to get the screws in."
• "It was VERY difficult to put together because the screws and the corresponding caps were very difficult to align."
• "Not all the pre-drilled holes were aligned .. there were 2 screws on the bottom tier that could not be inserted because the holes were not aligned .. too much of a hassle to disassemble."
• "I hated having to redo one leg simply because I wasn't paying attention."

Design & Aesthetics

Pros:

• "I purchased them in colors that blend well with the color pallet of the rooms I have put them in. Dark gray, oak color, brown color. Perfect."
• "They look great in my front hall. Beautiful color."
• "This is a quality, versatile bamboo piece for an amazing price."
• "For the money this a quality shoe rack, easy to assemble, looks great, nice walnut finish and perfect size for the area I needed."
• "I immediately loved it. It looks perfect in my home."
• "This little bench is the perfect place to place our shoes, bookbags, and purses when we come in the door."
• "I am very pleased with this purchase. The finished product is both very attractive and highly functional."

Cons:

• "Sadly, this white version was really low quality and ugly."
• "The white paint is not evenly painted, so some streaks are more opaque than others."
• "Also there are cracks in the top wooden slats."
• "On the top slats, there are tiny staple holes that line both sides all the way across."
• "Some pieces of the wood had scratches on it and I assume that was from the pieces rubbing or hitting each other in transit."
• "The dark brown color I ordered is very dark brown, almost black."
• "I received the black version not the gray version which is the one I wanted."

Sturdiness & Quality

Pros:

• "Wood is sturdy. Hold 5-6 pairs of shoes on the shelves depending on the shoe sizes."
• "They are strong enough that a large adult male can sit on them without fear of breaking."
• "It also looks very nice and is sturdy."
• "Very pleased with this bench, no cosmetic blemishes, well made."
• "This product was well made and easy to put together as it comes with its own tools and they even send extra hardware pieces which is amazing."
• "It didn't seem really stable at first because the legs are really thin but it turns out you can sit on it and it won't move an inch."
• "This is a very solid piece of furniture, perfect height."

Cons:

• "Sturdiness needs to be enhanced with glue and shims around the bolts if you intend to sit on it regularly."
• "It could stand to be a little wider and sturdier."
• "The shoe rack bench is squeaking and is almost broken apart. Can't sit on it."
• "The bench turned out being about half the size I was expecting."
• "The legs are uneven, so it wobbles when I press on one end."
• "However, one of the legs are apparently shorter because it wobbles awfully... yes, everything is tightened."
• "The wood is weak and even with good assembly this item cannot hold much weight."

Functionality & Capacity

Pros:

• "It holds both my boyfriend and I's shoes (he wears a size 13) with no issues!"
• "This bench is the perfect height for me, holds six pairs of shoes and gives me someplace to plop groceries before bringing upstairs."
• "It was fairly easy to assemble by myself and works really well for small space - I was able to fit up to 9 pairs of shoes."
• "Storage capacity is relatively as expected in that only ankle height shoes will work on 2 of the 3 shelves."
• "We're using it as additional bookshelf space on the 2 lower shelves and we have 2 plant stands on the tops as it raised the plants to the height we wanted for sunlight."
• "I can put 4-5 pairs on each shelf."
• "Sturdy piece, holds 9 pairs of shoes."

Cons:

• "I wish I had checked the dimensions better because it only holds 3 pairs of shoes on each level."
• "Isn't deep enough for adult shoes and would only hold maybe 2 pair per shelf anyway."
• "The description says holds up to 264 lbs which is a lie."
• "The shelves are not tall enough to put our really big boots on, but large enough for hiking boots."
• "The space between shelves is not really tall enough for boots."
• "Nothing tall like snow boots can stand there. No enough space between shelves or the bench part."
• "The rack WILL NOT hold three pairs of shoes on each shelf if the shoes are a bit bulkier on the top."
