Looks good but hard to put together

Many of the reviews are correct - very hard to put together. You need at least two people so one can hold it together. Issues I ran into
1. dowel rods went all the way into the holes so were not useful
2. screw anchors came out very easy
3. top does not close all the way
4. Somewhat crooked
5. Directions never say to put in the inside shelf which can't hold much weight the way it is designed.

All that says but it does look okay when finally got it together. I am almost 200lb (max weight) and I sat on it and it sounded like it might break. I guess I will have to go on a diet.

I think I should have found a different brand.

There are 12 potential choking hazards and due to wood being warped, tiny hands can be crushed or injured. Reported to CPSC.

I was worried about this bench based on other reviews but decided to try it as the dimensions were perfect for where I wanted to put the bench. I was delighted when it arrived. All the wood was beautiful - no scratches or mars - and very pretty. All the correct hardware was included. I assembled it in about 30 minutes. It was square and true and strong. Nothing was warped and it is very sturdy. My husband (200 lbs) can sit on it to change out of boots. No problem. It looks beautiful.

I created an account just to review this bench... I bought it in-store, and the quality of it is beyond terrible. For the price I didn't expect a masterpiece, but the fit, finish and overall quality of this bench are horrible. Save yourself the money and hassle and don't buy this one. The pre-drilled holes are misaligned, the insert panels are cheap particle board, and the threaded anchors for the bolts pull out from the wood with ease. The lid also scrapes along the arm rests. I expect this thing to fall apart if I look at it the wrong way.

Looks nice but issues putting it together

I had two previously bad experiences in purchasing a storage bench before I found this one. I was so happy to find this one as it looked nice and the price was right (use your 20% off coupon). And I honestly can't say this was any more easy than my previous experiences. From step one we had issues in putting this bench together (the pre-drilled hole did not line up with the coordinating piece). After waiting for my father-in-law to come over with his drill, he ran into several more issues of pieces not lining up correctly. But eventually he was able to get it together and it looks great (although if you examine it closely it may look a little cheap: particle board inserts)! Maybe I got a lemon (since several other reviewers had no issues putting it together) but for those who are not handy be aware you may run into this problem.

This bench is worth the price. I put it together by myself with no problem. It is darker than picture. No parts were missing nor warped. I am happy that I made this purchase I will be using it for storing pillows and blankets for when guest come, great accent piece for my foyer. Now off to find the right pillow and throw along with new runner to match!

Purchased the bench about a week ago,it wasn't available in the store so BBB shipped it too us for free,which was nice...They said it would take two weeks but arrived in about 4 days....My bf already had it put together before i got home(.he's very handy)..it looks nice no dents or dings or scratches...fits perfectly in our room...he said the quality isn't that good,but the bench was only $100.00(had a 20% off coupon)...it's going to be used to hold firewood in the winter and other items in the summer....i'm happy with it!!By the way he did use gorilla glue on the screws to give it a lil more support....so far so good!!!

My bench looks great. A second person would have made it easier to assemble, but I managed without too much trouble. Only problem: One screw hole wouldn't take the screw, but the bench seems study enough without it. The bench is a useful and attractive addition to my home.

Had to order replacement parts 2x! Bad quality!

This bench is cool looking. I fell in love with it. Then we built it and everything went downhill from there. The first time we built it, the front panel was gouged and scratched and the seat part of the bench you’d sit on was horribly bowed on the right side. Replacement order #1 was placed to get a piece that actually laid flat and a front that wasn’t horribly disfigured. Order arrives within a week...front panel is good to go (yay), but the seat part of the bench? Warped (again), and a huge gouge is in the corner. Replacement order #2 was placed for the seat piece of wood (again). Order arrives within a week (good turnaround, I’ll give this company that much), and the seat piece arrives again. By this time, I’m holding my breath that they didn’t send me a tuba at this point. We put the bench together for the THIRD time, and the bench piece is STILL warped, again on the right side. To heck with it. We have 3 huge boxes that need to be recycled and 3 large pieces of wood to break down. I’d love to know who does quality control (if anyone at all)! They clearly pulled a Peter Griffin and fell asleep as these pieces were packaged! At this point, we’re just keeping our warped little bench and calling it a day. Definitely wouldn’t recommend- even with using the 20% off coupon, it’s not worth it. VERY, very poor quality control!

better than poor, but not good

price - 20% coupon is great. Assembly not hard, but much easier with two people, as it requires adding front and back to one side before connecting the second side, which means you are holding it level by hand while trying to assemble. (Or you let it lean and hope none of the wood cracks.)

Wood quality not great - the bench seat is about 35 inches from side to side, and in the unit I bought it manages a 1/2 rise above flat in the middle, i.e., looking head-on at the bench, the 1/2 inch rise in the center looks like the crown of a road. It will work, and for the price not worth returning next weekend for one that might be just as bad, but obviously not a lot of quality control. My children say it is OK for them (and having gravity slide them apart may be a good idea anyway).

I'll probably drill a wood brace along the bottom front inside to make the bottom flat less likely to fall through, as the fit is not snug enough to hold it in place if it shifts about at all.

Summary - much cheaper than building it yourself, but based on my experience expect C- quality.

Great storage bench!

This is a great storage bench that was very easy to put together. I put it together all by myself in less than an hour. The only reason it took that long was because I was watching TV. No glue needed for the dowel rods!

Please note that the weight limit on the product description is wrong. The bench seat can hold 200 LBS and the storage bottom can hold 30 LBS

This bench is an excellent value for the price! It's great for storing blankets and extra pillows for guests!

As to the previous post, the product is DARK WALNUT, and therefore is going to be darker than the picture.

Good size, easy to assemble, but ALOT darker than picture. Picture color is what I needed, but wasn't even close to what's in the box. A red tone, and darker than expected, but its still a good storage bench.
