I purchased this bench to use as a coffee table on my patio. It would be perfect if the back didn't show the back of the short drawers. The drawers could be 5-6 inches deeper which would fill in the spaces at the back. The description did not indicate that these are meant to be placed against a wall vice freestanding. The back legs are even curved and the front legs straight. The picture in the grass was very misleading. I am keeping it only to avoid the return shipping charges.
While the bench looks good, the functionality is poor. The drawers are too small and do not slide out properly. When putting the bench together, all of the screws did not line up properly, so my husband had to craft a different way of putting it together. It is okay to sit on, but not for any type of storage.
We received this and I was concerned that it would be hard to put together based on other reviews. Putting the bench together was a lot easier than I anticipated, especially if you have ever purchased anything from a well known Swedish furniture company with the large warehouse stores. What was disappointing is the drawer stop for one of the drawers was completely missing. This was something we could fix. There also was significant damage to the section holding the drawers. One piece was shattered out of the box. My husband builds furniture, so he is repairing the bench. However, it was very disappointing the amount of work we had to put into this before we could even put it together. Based on the other reviews with similar issues, I cannot recommend the bench.
The bench looks as cute as it is in the picture from far away, but I was disapointed with the packaging. When I opened the bench their was a huge scratch covering half the table. I expected the table to be a little larger. The stain on the wood looks a little cheap, it didnt fully achieve the distressed look.
The bench is exactly as pictured and we are very pleased with the looks of it. We should have probably believed the reviews that said it was difficult to put together. Difficult does not begin to describe the poorly designed assembly. My husband says that even when he retires, he won't have enough time to assemble another one. Now that it is together, we are very happy with it....BUT, we would not do it again.
Not much storage space in this storage bench ..... three small drawers. But the dimensions were accurately displayed.
61 year old woman armed only with the tool provided put this together in about 45 minutes. (the dog helped) Instructions were adequate, and the pictures informative. It is a solid wood piece of furniture at a great price. Arrived promptly and well packed.
Loved the color and design. Bought two of them--one a little smaller than the other. Easy top put together but drawers not too good on the fit. Unable to come up with 50 or more characters.
I sit on this bench every day when I take off my work boots. It doesn't woble and seems very sturdy. I needed a smaller bench to set in an alcove and this one is fits the bill. I was worried that the seat was going to be narrow but my big butt fits without a problem. I think the color is nice and even toned throughout. Most importantly my wife says it is aesthetically pleasing.
I purchased this bench for my small front porch, and it fits perfectly and looks lovely; HOWEVER, it was not easy to assemble as the drilled holes did not match up for assembly. Since I am not handy, I had to pack my bench back in the box and transport it to a friend's house who is very handy and was kind enough to redrill holes. He also added a few additional screws for better stability of the drawer glides. Then end product is quite attractive, so I would recommend it --- with reservations.
