Smart purchase

I live in a small apt. and wear a uniform to work every day so I purchased the white bench to match my bedroom furniture and put it at the end of my bed. It is great to sit on while tying my work shoes, and storing them plus others. I look for economical multi-use pieces of furniture and this bench @ 20% off with optional shelves or bins was just perfect! I had no trouble assembling it and plan to buy another dark colored one for my living room to use as a workout bench and store weights, shoes, etc.

I've been very pleased with the bench so far. I bought it for my pets to be able to look out the window, and it fits perfectly. The covers on the cushions are easy to clean and rather utilitarian in appearance--works perfectly for my purposes, since my pups frequently have dirty paws! It went together fairly easily except for the center slat under the cushions, which just took some wriggling. They even included wood glue for securing the dowels! Great addition to my sewing room. :)

Worth the money, you get what you pay for

It is inexpensive and made with manufactured wood covered with plastic, but it was only $80. I used a coupon so it was cheaper. Pretty much got the shipping and taxes free. The packaging was pretty heavy duty but there was one chip on the front of the bench seat. About an inch of the plastic came up on the corner, but was easily glued back.
It was pretty easy to put together other than time consuming, but that is to be expected with that many parts. I think the instructions were pretty easy to understand.
I LOVE the way it looks and LOVE the cushion material. I have boys and they mark them all up. The dirt comes off super easy with soap and water. It is such a huge help keeping the area looking neat and organized with all our hats, gloves, shoes and stuff. I also purchased a white hook rack that I attached on the wall above it so we can hang our jackets so they are not all over the place.

Good product. What we expected. You should be able to use your store coupons on things you cannot get in the store.

Nice bench. Easy to put together, and better quality than most "put together" furniture. The measurements were exact and so was the color. The back is not finished out, so it has to be against a wall. It was damaged during shipping but BBB got me replacement pieces immediately. The package was not packed well enough to avoid a long delivery time. It's very cute in my bathroom.

I bought two of these storage benches to help remove the toy clutter in my TV room. They have certainly done that and added some seating as well. There took a bit of time to assemble, but the payoff was worth it. Now my family room has a more organized look to it.

Well Done for What It Is

Obviously, this is not a high quality piece of furniture. That said, it is a pretty-well thought-out bench. All the parts were there and neatly packaged. The packing material could have been better since a couple of edges were bent in transit. If I had needed perfection, I would have returned it. As it is, from experience, I know this kind of cheap stuff doesn't hold up that well anyway, so I just consider it "pre-dinged" since the damage isn't obvious. It's actually quite nice looking and the dimensions were listed correctly. It did take quite a bit of time to put together (well over an hour for my handy husband) and it's quite heavy.

great storage and seating

I had purchased one of these benches in a different color several months ago and when I decided I needed more easily accessable storage plus seating in my bathroom I bought the white one. It goes together easily and for the money is a very nice product. Ideal seating for after a shower to get dressed and enough storage for things I use frequently and want quick access to to. Would definately recommend. I wish it was just a little bit bigger but very nice as it is.

Placed at end of bed (queen size). Looks great, perfect size, very functional. My BF and I put bench together in 1 1/2 hours (incl. counting pieces). Did not add feet - works well as it is on carpeting. Used a 20% coupon so even better!

Love it. Perfect size; durable. Only problem is that it wobbles a little, but not bad. My daughter fell in love with it so I had to order one for her home. She put in entrance to store shoes.
