Love the actual product had it not come out of the box already damaged! The box was in great shape so not sure if it was packed this way or not. Will glue it and paint it do I can use it but sad that I have to repair it already. I ordered two so now off to open the next one. Hopefully no sad surprises!!!! Will post updates if needed
First off, I am not using this as an entry way bench. Its not sturdy enough for all the action that comes with the job requirement. However, using it as a furniture piece in my bedroom has worked wonders. I agree that its a little over priced BUT foe the space that I have it in (see pics) it works very well and literally just about the same color as my bedroom furniture. The directions were easy to follow but for putting on the lid I do recommend getting help holding it in place. I use it more for decoration and storage than extra seating so if youre looking for something that will look good in a space to add to your decor and storage, it will do well. Thought it would be higher that it is but was happy that it wasnt as it fits perfectly in the space I need it.
Solidly build, not particle board, and looks really nice. I keep a runner on top of mine so my dogs dont scratch it up, for anyone else with that concern.
For the price it is a reasonable buy Well packaged, parts numbered and easy to assemble. I recommend not storing anything too heavy. Not as sturdy as you would think. Works great for my quilt fabrics. Overall happy with product.
Functional and nice looking The bench looks great in our bathroom and adds storage for our towels. It is well built and sturdy. I would have preferred a more substantial bottom shelf, but the rest of the bench is solid wood. The only assembly problem I found was attaching the seat hinges. One of the three hinge predrilled hole sets was misaligned and took extra effort to get the three screws in. The directions were very easy to follow. There were extra screws included in case some were lost but I did not need to use any of them. Be aware that you need a phillips head screwdriver and a rubber mallet to assemble. I attached a felt furniture pad on the head of my hammer but the wooden dowels did not require a lot of force to be seated.
I dont normally write a review, but this bench is worth the effort. Arrived early (pleasant surprise) well packed so no chance of damage in transit. The instructions and ease of assembly was not the norm for flat packs. Built the whole thing by myself in less than 20mins. Very sturdy I am a 289lb guy and not even a squeak of groan from the wood.
Buy with confidence, you get what they are sell tans not some cheap mdf crap.

Entry Way Bench
This entry bench is very nice. I love the wood tone, its sturdy and it makes the space look very nice.
Really solid piece
Solidly build, not particle board, and looks really nice. I keep a runner on top of mine so my dogs dont scratch it up, for anyone else with that concern.
