Phoenix Signature Tan Upholstered Bench

After receiving this bench - I have a few sugguestions for future buyers: 1. Get some of those casters for carpet - if you have this bench on high pile carpet - this will help it stay steady. 2. Before assembling - check the design of the letters/wording on the side of each arm - so the side facing out has the design you want - on mine - I made sure the two arm sides that just had large numbers on them facing the back. I also made sure the words on the bench were oriented to be "read" from standing in front of it. 3. After assembling - put this out in your garage or room you don't sleep in (with a window!) - to air out for at least a few days - the strong chemical smell was not unexpected - but we don't want breath in all those fumes - better left in our garage for a week to offgas - after two days - the smell is greatly decreased! 4. Remember - the fabric used to cover this bench is a print - so - don't be shocked when there is a giant parentheses (or number/year) in the middle of your seat - as is on ours - but - we are going to put some small rolled pillows on either end and a small throw draped over one arm - so it won't really be noticable... 5. Be aware that the cushion is permanently fastened to the bench - so you cannot flip the cushion- and there is no zipper to fill it more some day. If that happens years from now - most likely - we would add another cushion and use a bench slipcover.....but at least there are options. 6. Nice print and fabric - just make sure your other decorations in your room are strong - otherwise the eye will be drawn to the writing on the bench only. Would make this purchase again - even knowing all the above....

This is the first major purchase I've made on Overstock. I've looked at furniture in the past, but have always been leary of ordering in case I didn't like it. When I saw this bench I knew it was exactly what I'd been looking for, so I pulled the trigger. I'm so gald I did! It is exactly what I was hoping for and fits in the room perfectly!

All in all the bench works well in our dressing area where it gets a minimun of use but looks good.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? I was wanting and hoping for a more ivory or cream color. It actually is more tan than anything else.

• How accurate was the on site description of the product? Reasonably accurate.

This was the perfect end of the bed bench for our king size bed. I really like the colors and had very little trouble putting it together with my husband. I went to several furniture stores to find something like this bench but didn't see anything this great.
