Love the bench but we had a heck of a time putting it together. It has some dings in it as well.
Overall the piece looks nice even though some of the peices were dinged up a bit and rough in spots. I suggest unpacking this thing outside (which I did luckily) The packing material was a mess and the foam had this fiberglass-like material clinging to everything. I wish I had worn a dust mask, because the stuff looked scary! The assembly pieces were nicely packaged but the directions were crudely printed and hard to see in spots and confusing at times. I was taking my time assembling and being careful and it ended up taking over an hour and a half. I am sure it would be faster for most others! This seems very sturdy after it is put all together and the honey finish is very warm and rich.
We loved the bench but the directions were not clear at all and we put the back on backwards, and it was too late by the time we realized it. Most won't know it.
We bought this bench to use in our entryway and we love it! It looks nice, not cheap and has held up well. I love that it has a few drawers to put stuff in...they aren't very big but hold a few pairs of gloves, scarves, etc. Looks nice and we have received many compliments on it! Would recommend this to anyone!
The bench looks very nice and fits perfectly in the space I had picked out for it. My husband didn't have too much trouble putting it together---a few snags here & there. We did get 2 right plastic drawer guides for one of the three drawers and were missing a left one---it seems to be fine without it though. Overall rather pleased.
I love the bench, the different colors it comes in but if my husband hadn't of been a handyman we would have had to return it, unable to get things to line up right. It took him many hours to revamp and get it to go together.
I was very happy with this bench. I had read other comments on assembly and just took my time with it and had very little difficulty putting it together. It took me maybe 11/2 hours total. The materials are very solid. The drawers slide with a little effort.
This piece of furniture is beautiful! The only problem I had was the challenge of assembly. Keep a drill handy as some places are not predrilled. The directions are sketchy and can look overwhelming at times, I finally pitched them and used common sense. It is lovely. Overstock has made my home beautiful while enhancing my tool skills.
I love my bench. The color is warm and inviting. Everyone comments on it when they see it. It was delivered in 1 day and it took about 3 hours to assemble. It is nicer than I expected and a good price. I would recommend this for sure and do not think anyone would be disappointed.
Excellent Product- Easy to assemble. Looks just great in the entryway of my home. Need to find a cushion now. Grandkids are on it all the time it seems.
"A lot of pieces to assemble and directions are hard to read in some spots, but overall happy with the product."
This fits perfect in the spot I bought it for. I wanted it so I could sit and put on shoes to go outside and to also keep mittens and gloves handy by the front door if it is snowy or icy outside

Can seat two average sized small frame adults, or three kids. The 3 small drawers are perfect for gloves, scarves, hats, maybe small/compact sized umbrella. Perfect seating to take off winter boots!

- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Sturdy thus far.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate.
all the parts were here and the instructions were good. One end took some adjustment to get the screw to fit but all in all very nice.
Arrived in a timely manner. Had trouble with the "barrel nuts" and getting the drawers to close flush. Overall am happy with the product for the cost.
We like the look of the bench, we use ours by the front door to sit on and remove shoes. It works great for that,bad news is the laminate on the arms has bubbles and cracks in it. My husband was almost done with it before he noticed that problem,too late to take it apart and send back. The color and size work well with our room.
This bench is beautiful, and I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase. It has a gorgeous color and finish. It's the perfect size for my entryway, and it's very sturdy once completed!! The assembly kit was well put together and well labelled. The assembly instructions were fairly easy to understand; however, it took me (alone) about 3.5 hours to assemble the product.
We bought this bench to go into the entryway into the house. The price on overstock was decent and shipping was quick--it got here in two days! Assembly was difficult--it took me and my wife over 2 hours to put the bench together, and we had to break out the mallet a couple of times to hammer pieces in. However, we were happy with it once we got it put together. I would recommend this, but be prepare to have two people spend a couple of hours putting it together.
Bench is a little darker than I thought it would be and there is a mismatch mark on one of the sides but perfect for our entry way. My triplets love climbing on it to read or put on their shoes. I have received several compliments. Good bench for the price.
not bad but by no means a great piece of furniture. file under "you get what you pay for"
