Large 3-drawer Acacia Bench

I needed a bench for my mudroom where we can take off boots and shoes, but also store the hats and mittens that usually collect on top of my dryer. This bench was exactly what I wanted because it's high enough off of the ground to slide shoes under, but also has storage. The drawers aren't huge, but they will be perfect for hats, mittens, even dog leashes or gardening gloves. Because I am using it indoors, I do not have any concerns about the finish weathering the elements. The wood has a nice rich tone, the white finish is clean and it looks much more expensive than it was. Also, I think that the drawers will hold up better than simple wicker baskets may have.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The photo shows the bench in red, but I ordered it in white/natural.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Great! In fact, as he was assembling it, my husband asked how much I'd spent - I told him the Overstock price, and that I got free shipping. He was shocked - in a good way!
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? Aside from the photo being a different color, it was great.

Bench was easy to assemble, although the drawer stop from one drawer had fallen off and also one of the sliders had pulled out during shipping. Easy fixes but disappointingly cheap materials for those problem areas. The stopper was a small block of wood held onto the body of the bench by a screw. Primative, but I guess it does the trick. The drawers were pretty flimsy ,too, made of very, very light-weight wood and smaller than what the photograph leads one to believe. Regardless, aside from its flaws and somewhat inflated price, it's an attractive bench and it can store small items that you don't want hanging about.
