SONGMICS 3-Tier Shoe Rack With Padded Seat

When the small pile of outdoor-activity shoes in our garage became too unsightly even for me, I knew something had to be done. This nifty bench not only restored some order to the chaos, it gives us a place to sit while putting the shoes on.

Each shelf comfortably holds three pairs of average-width adult shoes (6 pairs total for the bench). If your pedal extremities are unusually wide, that number might go down a bit. The bench itself is very sturdy and does not wobble at all, though admittedly I’m not of Herculean stature.

Aesthetically the bench is neither eye-catching nor an eyesore. It’s perfectly presentable, though it will probably feel most at home in a garage, mud room, or entryway. Ours arrived in fine condition with no scratches on the metal or damage to the foam top.

If you’re looking for an heirloom-quality shoe rack that will become the centerpiece of your furniture collection, this probably won’t fit the bill. But if you want a bench/shoe rack that is neutral, solidly constructed, and very functional, you’d be hard pressed to beat this one for the price.

I had originally ordered a similar bench from another seller on a lightning deal; but, having always had such wonderful experiences with Songmics, I decided to reach out to their customer service to inquire about their bench in black. Black matches out decor much better, and it looked like a much sturdier, more comfortable piece. The customer service representitive who got back to me (Bruce) could not have been more helpful! He assuaged any of my concerns, and assisted me in ordering this bench, so I promptly cancelled the other order. I am so happy I did! I just set it up, which took maybe 30 mins at most, and it really could not have been easier to assemble. There are only 7 pieces, plus screws, for which an allen wrench is provided. You pretty much put the whole frame together in one step — just be sure to only hand-tighten the screws at first, as all the pieces need to fit together before the screws are all tightened. I followed the instructions and affixed the cushioned top before tightening the screws, ensuring they were just tight enough to hold the frame together during the process. Once the top was on, I went around and systematically tightened all screws until the pieces of the frame were flush with one another and secure, but not too tight as to warp the screw holes through the frame. I flipped the bench back over, set it on the ground, and sat on it. No wobble, felt sturdy, and the nice cushion on top is, indeed, very comfortable for such an item. Thank you for producing and helping me acquire this awesome product! Songmics has become my go-to for good quality home storage furniture and such at affordable prices! They stand behind their products, and their customer service is just wonderful!

It looks good for the price. Only had it for a couple of months, but looks like it will hold up good, as seems quite sturdy so far. Loved the size as it was a perfect fit.

Perfect size. Holds 8 pairs of adult shoes and comfortable to sit on.

This is what all furniture SHOULD be!!

Why does this humble $50 seat deserve such a glowing review? I could barely wait till I was finished assembling this piece to write this review – that is how pleased I am with it:

1. Clear, simple directions. I believe they’re translated, but they’re translated so well you can’t really tell. Thank you for your attention to detail with this.
2. Well designed.
3. Easy to assemble (PRO lazy tip: do it on a bed, don’t bother trying to assemble this on a chair. It’s easier to line everything up when it’s close to your height)
4. Super sturdy AND comfortable!
5. Looks fantastic, simple design but quality is apparent in person!

That this bench is $50 – shipped with PRIME no less – is unbelievable. The bench alone is worth $100 without shipping (but please don’t change the price… I wouldn’t have found this if it cost $100 😂).

Why can’t all furniture be like this? Shop online, receive it in two days shipped, assemble it easy, and it’s actually a quality product at a fantastic price. Wow.

This is what Ikea should be.

BONUS: In the instructions, it says if you recommend ways for them to change the product and they do, they will send you free products in the future to try. I wish I could recommend something to change, because I’m now off to check out other Songmics products because this bench made me a convert and I wish I could get them for free! haha. But this furniture is perfect as it is.

LONGEVITY: I’m sure this piece will hold up well, but if you are wondering if it does, please leave a comment and I’ll come back and update my review. If you want to purchase without waiting however, chances are if I don’t update this, it’s because it’s met my expectations

Primero que nada el precio de este artículo está increíble, para su calidad y tamaño fue bastante económico, sobretodo cuando lo comparo con otras opciones que encontré antes de dar con este artículo. En cuestión de entrega llegó muy rápido a pesar de venir de USA y en un empaque muy grande (lo guardan en una caja del doble de su tamaño) me imagino es para evitar que la avienten y se maltrate.

El armado es sumamente sencillo, viene con los tornillos y una llave Allen para realizarlo, me cronometré y me tardé 20 minutos, no tuve ningún problema de que las partes no embonaran correctamente. El banco aguanta sin problemas a dos personas de peso medio, es bastante cómodo el cojín para sentarse, tomando en cuenta que es solo para unos minutos. El tamaño es algo largo, caben sin problemas 3 pares de zapatos por nivel y aún así queda un espacio. Me encantó el producto, sobretodo lo compré para cuando regresemos a la normalidad poder colocar los zapatos de los
Invitados e Intercambiarlos por pantuflas y no ensucien mi piso 😅

Espero que mi reseña les haya sido de utilidad, un abrazo!
