Bought this because we live in an apartment. Needed some thing by the door for shoes and underneath the coat rack. This was the perfect size for what I needed it for .
I couldnt find anything in local home decor stores that suited what I was looking for, and having done that search I knew this item was a great piece. I was nervous about placing the order in fear of getting a damaged item. When the item arrived, I was even more nervous because returning something that size and weight would not be fun. I have only ever put together one thing in my life on my own, a ride-on toy. I decided to give this a shotwhen I say that I put this together, believe me when I say anyone can do it. I went ahead and ordered a second one and without all the self-doubt and second guessing I was able to put that together in 10 minutes. So, if you have any sort of skill or know-how when it comes to putting things together, this will be a piece of cake for you. Something I found noteworthy, that I dont think I knew before ordering, is that the back panel is an optional attachment. I placed the back on the one bench but the other is in front of a vent. So, I left the back panel off of the second bench - totally neat feature leaving you with the decision of the final look. If I move the bench elsewhere, I easily attach the back. The cushion for each bench did have some marks on themthey looked like fingerprints in several places. They are noticeable, and Im currently covering them up with some decor until the storage bins I ordered arrive. I was disappointed with the stains but did not think it was worth going through the return process. That being said, I contacted customer service and they are PHENOMENAL. They responded to me within 24 hours and offered to replace the cushions. I was told I would need to wait 4-6 weeks but just last night (so maybe about a week or less since I initially contacted them) I received a notification they would be arriving this weekend. Fingers crossed these are stain-free. When you know you can return the item via , and you also know that customer service has your back, there really is nothing to hold you back from getting this!
It took all 3 of my college degrees and about 2 hours of my time to get this thing put together by myself ( j/k—not really), but when I finally did get it put together, it was just perfect for my needs. I wanted something to hold books that fit under my double windows. This piece ended up being a little smaller than I expected it to be—but that turned out to be a good thing, in my case. Everything about this little bench/bookcase is high-quality for the price. The included cushion is so well-made, sturdy and stain-resistant. The washed grey color of the wood is beautiful. Im just really pleased with it and think it looks great! Recommend!
None of the pieces were labeled and while putting it together pieces were falling off. Its in my classroom now, so I wont be returning it. Just beware.
Sturdy, easy to assemble, cushion is better than expected and comes with Velcro stickers to help it stay in place. Grey color is exactly as pictured. Great product, would definitely buy again.

Two thumbs up
Sturdy, easy to assemble, cushion is better than expected and comes with Velcro stickers to help it stay in place. Grey color is exactly as pictured. Great product, would definitely buy again.
Nice look
Took about an hour to assemble and you need your own tools, but it looks great and is very sturdy
looks good and sturdy
the cabinet looks beautiful and sturdy, just a little pricey.
Its nice for small apartment
The first order was missing part. I returned it and order a new unit. The second try was successful. Im happy with the final outcome.
Great for extra seating and storage.
This was just what I had been wanting for my living room. It gave us an extra seating option as well as storage underneath.
