Leather Storage Bench Dark Brown

I live in Manhattan so driving around to furniture stores is not really practical nor is it a viable option. Overstock has therefor become my saving grace for a number of household items and this last time was no exception. For anyone considering not buying this item-- I urge you to reconsider-- it is beautiful and the velvet lining on the inside makes it a great "safe" place for guest down comforters, blankets, games....whatever. I currently have it set up in my hallway where it adds charm, beauty and is the perfect finishing touch. The warm chocolate brown goes with anything including black. It was incredibly easy to set up, shipping was fast...to say I am pleased is an understatement; I am absolutely thrilled. For new yorkers or anyone with space constraints-- this is perfect for extra seating, storage or simply for looks.

I purchased this bench a few months ago. I still totally love it but I have to say it is not the quality I first thought it was. This is a bench you absolutely cannot sit on. I have 2 little girls who love to lie on it. After a couple of months the stitches started to fall apart. I use it now as a coffee table, no one is allowed on it. It is too bad because the leather is beautiful and I really loved it. So be careful on what you are planning to use it for. Would I buy it again? definitively! But as a coffee table

I purchased this bench several months ago to use it at the foot of our bed. It was to serve two purposes. First, a place to sit while putting on shoes and second, a landing for our small dogs to use to get on and off the bed. It was absolutely a beautiful piece of furniture and I was so happy to have it. But the seams are falling apart on it. It is a great bench to look at but is not for everyday use. I am very disappointed with the lack of durability. If you plan to use it just for a storage compartment or as a coffee table, not as a bench it works. Outside of that, don't buy it.

I own a clothing boutique in san francisco and i thought this would make a nice addition. it does. easy to assemble and it looks nice, the leather is average quality. but...it is not 20" high as claimed. it is only 18, and the length is just over 48" not 50 as claimed. the depth is 20". the inside of mine didn't have any smell, i plan on using the storage part for over stock and it is fine. someone claimed it had a velvet lining. nope it's just average black felt. but fine. great value. remember this is not meant for comfortable seating. it's an ottoman.. fine for a customer resting their tired dogs, or setting their purse down. but someone said it was hard. it's an ottoman. LOL ...it's for putting on your shoes, not watching TV...thanks overstock. good service, bad measuring. still im keeping it. i may add bigger feet to raise it in the future.
