I've been searching for the perfect shoe rack for my entryway since October, and I'm thrilled to have finally found one that fits my space like a glove. It's the Shoe Rack with Soft Seating from TopStal, and I'm loving every minute of it.

The brand name is straightforward and honest, which I appreciate. It's not too flashy, but it gets the job done.

Box with detailsBox with detailsWhen I opened the box, I was greeted by a lot of bubble wrap, which was both a blessing and a curse. It was intact, thank goodness, but it was a bit of a pain to deal with.I was a bit worried that if there was a defect, it might be a hassle to return. But thankfully, everything was in order, and the screws were safely tucked away in a separate bag under the first layer of bubble wrap. My little one managed to spill them all over the floor before I could even take a photo of the bag with the screws inside:

ScrewsI don't even know what these things are called, so I'll just refer to them as 'bolts' for the sake of simplicity. My trusty male helpers at home will have to guide me through this process.Here's the massive bag of bolts we got.

Leg componentsTwo sturdy legs.

ComponentsThe shelves for the shoe rack.And of course, the footrest.

The underside of the shoe rack's cushion

The footrest's cushionI was a bit worried that the material on the back wouldn't be properly secured, but I guess nobody's going to be crawling around to check. The top material, however, is super soft and comfortable - my cat absolutely loved it.My husband said the welding was top-notch, and despite the price, it's definitely worth it. The material is amazing, and it's clear that they didn't skimp on quality.

Now, let's talk about assembly:

I'm quite pleased with the shoe rack, minus a few minor issues, but I'll update this review after a while. However, within a couple of days, it accumulated a huge amount of cat hair, so I need to clean it every day.
