I love this little bench, looks very nice in my hallway, however the first one we received had some damage (krack) on it and they could not replace damaged part. This was very nicely packed so the damage was not from shipping. We returned the 1st bench and ordered a second one, but had the same problem only not as bad as the first one. This time the damage is on the back part of bench and not visible because we placed bench by the wall.
After tracking the bench down that was delivered to the neighbors (no fault of the seller) I started putting it together. It is packaged really well. The directions took a little time to figure out what direction to lay the pieces. Overall its just ok. The reason for the ratings are 1. its much smaller than anticipated. We measured the length and knew what to expect there but the lack of height really surprised us. Its small. The attached picture can give you an idea with toddler sizes jackets hanging above. 2. The pilot holes for the seat are a little off so the it sits off center and rubs the arm every time we open it. The kids put their shoes inside so even after a few days its already showing wear.
Purchased 5 of these for a reception area that needed to be more homey. They are a tad short but we added 1 1/4 pieces under the feet and 2 inch cushions and they are fine even for older folks that cant get up from a low bench. Color is lovely. Good storage. Easy to put together. For the price, theyre nice.
Seems durable. Im glad its real wood. I hate particle board furniture. The best quality for the price Ive seen so far. I wish there had been a longer version as I wanted a larger compartment to put a family of 4 shoes in. It fits most of our shoes just fine though, but not all. Great for sitting on to put our shoes on. Seats 2 people at a time. The seat doesnt always stay up though. We need to be careful with out 4 year old since hes smashed his fingers a couple times in the seat lid.
Overall much as expected, solid...fairly simple to assemble until you get to the hinge, the hinge I received would not function properly as such has resulted in scratching and cracking the seat. The hinge itself broke rather than operating properly. Cheap about covers it.
This was on my Christmas wish list and my husband purchased it for me. We really needed someplace in our entryway where we could remove shoes before walking onto the carpet. This is exactly what I was looking for! It looks really nice, exactly what I was hoping for. Oh, and since this was on my wish list, it doesnt show that I purchased it but totally a verified buyer. PSS. Hired someone for $50 to put it together and saved my marriage
Love this bench!! This is the perfect bench for our entryway! It is very sturdy and the top opens up to store items. We currently have hats, mittens and scarves in there for the winter. We chose the black color although it comes in espresso but we love that it also acts as additional seating when company comes over and the perfect place for the kids to sit down and put on and take off their boots and shoes. My husband is also around 230 pounds or so and it is sturdy enough to hold him so I would highly recommend this to anyone! It looks beautiful! Now we just need some throw pillows to add a little personal touch :-)

A little too small but was easy to put together with two people.

Very attractive
