I highly recommend this bench for looks and functionality. It's a quality piece of furniture and was not difficult to assemble (I did it myself in about 2 hours) - but you will need an electric drill/screwdriver if you want to do it in less than half a day. My reason for only awarding 3 stars is the hassle we went through getting a replacement basket for a defective one. instead of just sending us a basket, Overstock shipped an entire new bench with baskets. We were instructed to substitute the defective basket for one in the replacement order, reseal the box and return the whole thing via UPS. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but lugging a big, heavy box of bench into and out of the house a second time just to get a basket seems a terribly inefficient way to provide a simple replacement part and an unnecessary inconvenience to the customer. As always, though, Overstock paid all the freight, so it didn't cost us anything but time and trouble.
Very solid and easy to put together. I agree with the other reviews that the baskets are rough and can scratch the wood. I put a piece of felt on the bottom of the baskets to help them slide easier and to avoid dmaging the wood.
I love this bench. My kids each have a basket and we keep all their shoes in the baskets. It really cleaned up my hallway. The baskets are hard plastic and have left scratches on the wood from sliding them in and out of the cubby. I did put felt pads on them but they didn't stay in place. I have bench in part of house that is not visible to guests, so it doesn't make much of a difference. I like the product and it has lasted for a couple of years. Not flimsy.
This bench is beautiful and easy to assemble. It looks great in our entryway. The only negative is that that baskets were extremely smelly (made our whole place smell) for several days until I left them outside to air out for 48 hours. Other than that, I can't think of any negatives.
I am extremely happy with the Hampton Storage Bench. Before purchasing, I took the time to read most of the more than 200 customer reviews, which persuaded me to purchase the bench. I’m so happy I did! I was looking at an exact bench in *** for double the price, and it was mostly made from MDF. Include the tax, shipping and baskets and the purchase would have been well over $500. This bench is exactly the same, even better because it’s solid wood. I’m a little disappointed in the baskets; they scratch the surface of the bench. But even without the baskets, the bench is beautiful and an incredible value. If your hesitant to order this bench, don’t be. You’ll be as happy as me!
Excellent bench. Very sturdy. Followed others advice and put felt pads on the bottom of the baskets right away. Loved that the bench came with its own baskets. I made a cushion for the top. Done. Love it.
love the bench; easy to assemble; high quality; highly recommend
This was perfect for what we were looking for. It looks great under our window. The only thing is how the baskets scratch the wood when you pull them out. I picked up some foam paper. I'm gonna see if that works so the bottom does not keep scratching up the wood. Otherwise, a great buy and exactly what we were looking for.
I like the unit but I wish it came with one long cusion. I'm having a hard time finding a cushion. I do not want 3/4 individual cushions. Any suggestions?
I am very happy with my Hampton Storage Bench purchase. It is a good, solid, quality piece of furniture. I was immediately impressed with how heavy each piece of wood was as I was assembling the bench. I did it by myself in about two hours. It would have gone faster with another person to help assemble, as half the battle is lining up the holes and making sure everything is going into the proper place. I was initially planning to replace the baskets that come with the bench, but they are not plastic as other reviewers have stated, they are indeed made of some natural fiber. And as these baskets store my kid's shoes and accessories, I will wait to spend additional money on new baskets until I have to. I did take the advice of other reviewers and put felt on the bottom of the baskets to preserve the finish and prevent scratch marks from the baskets, which are scratchy. It is a great value that baskets come with the bench, since the major high end retailer that sells a very similar bench not only charges twice as much as this bench, but you have to purchase the baskets separately. This is an excellent value, and I am very happy with my purchase. I did end up purchasing the cushion from the major high end retailer, and I love the overall end result. It looks great!!! Highly recommended for those looking for both seating and storage for an entryway. Thank you Overstock for the fast, inexpensive shipping and great product!
