Dark Brown Bi-Cast Leather Storage Bench

I purchased this bench for the foot of the bed and have had it for several months. I've purchased frequently from Overstock and have been mostly pleased, so I felt comfortable ordering this, even though it was my first online furniture purchase. It came well-packaged in double cardboard boxes. It's the perfect size (not too big that it fills up the whole width of the queen-size bed). I also liked that the legs and clearance are higher, which gives the bench a lighter feel as compared to some of the "fuller" benches. I thought it was a good compromise between a bench w/full storage vs. a bench w/none at all. And like some of the other reviewers, storage capacity was not an issue for me. Agree w/several other reviewers that the bench was VERY easy to assemble and seems well made all around. The leather is so-so quality but for this price that's to be expected. My only gripe is that the foam cushion is hard and not that comfortable for prolonged sitting (not an issue if it's for a foyer or foot of bed to put your shoes on, but I sometimes sit on it to watch TV). Overall I would recommend this bench as a stylish alternative to other benches and at a good value.

This bench is beautful, sturdy, thickly padded, and easy to assemble. I did a lot of comparison shopping and this is a great price. My only concern is that it is made from bi-cast leather. I looked up just what bi-cast leather is and it is pretty much the thinnest material that can still be called leather, made by practically shaving a thin layer of leather from a hide and bonding it to a synthetic material. If left in sunlight, flexed alot, or treated roughly it cracks and degrades easily. I have this bench at the end of my bed where it won't get a lot of wear and tear so I think it will be OK. I could have bought a real leather bench elsewhere but I would have paid at least twice the price. It's a tradeoff, but one that is worth it for me and my situation.

This storage bench was just the right size for my room, looks great and adds the storage I wanted. The color is a rich deep brown and the assembly took less than 5 minutes. I would highly recommend this purchase. You won't be dissappointed.

The great selection offered at Overstock allowed me to find just the right size and color bench for my space. When I received the bench, I was delighted to see it was just as pictured and described. I wasn't able to find a leather bench in this price range anywhere else; and I've been shopping around for some time before checking Overstock. Next time, I'll check here first!
