Crosley Furniture Seaside Hall Tree, Shoe Rack Bench

I wanted a hall tree/bench for our home. We have a garage that enters in the basement and are finishing the basement to be a welcoming entry into the house. This hall tree fit our space perfectly. The bottom holds my husband's shoes and it’s a good place for the kids to sit and put their shoes on before leaving. There is a “distressed” look to the surface which looks fine. I ordered some baskets to hold gloves on the top shelf and added a welcome sign and other decor to the top as well. The baskets, rustic jar, and welcome sign are all from Amazon as well. Assembly was easy. My husband and I put it together in a couple hours.

Ok, so it's a bit on the short side, but so am I. :-) This hall tree is pretty, sturdy, HEAVY, and rock solid. I'm a little 66 year old lady, and I put the top (down to the bench seat) together by myself. It became too heavy to move easily, so hubs finished it for me when he came home from work. For those who had issues with putting this together, do what I did - READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY FIRST. Then, set everything out by number, and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AGAIN. If you do this, it will go together smoothly. The instructions also tell you not to use power tools when assembling - that is so that you don't crack the few pieces that are particle board. So, if I can do it, you can do it, and when you are done, you'll have a lovely hall tree where you can hang coats, umbrellas, totes, and store shoes. Adding some bling to the top shelves added to the height. If you are wondering where I got the shoe trays (they are a PERFECT fit!), they are Iron Gate - 2 Pack - Compact Boot Tray - 16x18 Inch. Exactly fit in the shoe bin. You're welcome. :-)

Wanted to give my entryway a little facelift, but also was looking for a much needed “dump zone”. Love the shelf (I added baskets also found on Amazon). The hooks and hardware are strong and pair well with the look of the piece. The bench is wide and perfect for dropping bags, Amazon packages or to sit while putting on shoes. This was actually really enjoyable to put together. All pieces were labeled nicely, the tools were organized well, and the directions were clear. I do agree with some reviews that say it was shorter than desired. And I would look to add legs so that the hooks are at at least eye level.

Well, it's up and looks great. Pros: I love it. It looks great in the space and is weight bearing and the hooks are very secure. Cons: - It isn't as tall as I thought it would be. It's not a big deal to me, but I was under the impression it was taller. - It's a bit of a monster to assemble. The horizontal piece that fits between the back panel and the bench wouldn't fit into the other pieces and wasn't flush with the rest of the unit, which caused it to be impossible to attach the bench. I opted to cut it down by about 1/8th of an inch. It fit perfectly after that, but I'll have to get a cushion because you can see the cut. This could be put together by one person if you're handy and can figure out how to troubleshoot like I had to if the pieces don't go together perfectly.

Looks great in our entryway. I built it by myself so I would rate it as pretty easy to put together. It’s exactly what I was looking for.

Product took about an hour and a half for me to put together by myself and being handy with tools. With that said, directions were concise, clear and used both images and piece/hardware numbers to keep the process as dummy-proof as possible. The piece is SOLID, well put together and doesn't have even the slightest hint of being a cheap unit. We've had it in the house now about three months and it doesn't wobble, stands up to being stood on and having a three-year-old jump off it, and the hooks hold anything worth hanging. Very happy with the purchase, and especially liked that I was able to visualize it in the space before purchasing it. Attached are two photos: one of the visualized piece and the other is the actual unit in place. Pretty spot on! Well worth the money and arrived well packaged and no damage whatsoever.

This works great for us. The dimensions were exactly as described in product listing. It comes in a lot of pieces but my husband and I didn’t have too much trouble putting it together. No signs of damage when it arrived. You’ll definitely need two people to assemble. Once assembled, it looks great and is sturdy. Fits in with our farmhouse-style decor. The hooks are strong and hold backpacks and totes filled with stuff. The hidden shelf underneath hides clutter! The bench is large enough for an adult to sit on. Overall, great purchase for extra storage!

I love this. I read that it’s short but I’m shorter and it works for me. I wasn’t looking for a large piece because I did put it in my kitchen by the door. I did buy baskets from Target and shoe / boot trays for the bottom off here too. I’m buying a cushion also. It was easy to put together. I would have someone help for sure. It took us 2 hrs to put together which seems normal. It’s very sturdy. Not a lot of distress in the wool but not a huge deal. I do recommend this if your looking for a piece for a smaller space.

Great solid built piece

Really works well

Love this as we do not have a front door closet

Quality unit. Easy to put together. Nice hardware. Although I did measure the space it would go ... it was shorter then I would have liked. I am 5’7” and I have to bend down to hang a coat.

We ordered this now because we were not sure if it would be available in the Spring. It sits in our shed, unopened. The shipping box was a bit damaged but doesn’t appear significant. Will report on May 2022.
