Solid Antique Oak Bench

I must admit I was very surprised by the level of quality on this piece. I had anticipated the wood being thinner, the details perhaps not as pronounced, the assembly to be less solid, or the piece not really appearing it's measured size. I was wrong in my anticipations. This is a very attractive, solid piece whose physical size is very reasonable (it's not a tiny bench at all). Assembly was easy and straight forward with no surprises. I've created furniture from scratch and will say this...follow the recommendations provided as I did by NOT tightening everything as you go. I took my time, loosely fitted all the pieces, then worked my way around it all tightening a little more each time. This process only adds a few minutes to assembly and ensures everything is square and aligned. You get a really nice product in the end. Overall we are very pleased with it and have had numerous comments already regarding it's style and size.

purchased this for my daughter for christmas. This piece of furniture is absolutely beautiful, very heavy, wood detail stunning and the paisley fabric was very very rich looking.

We needed something at the foot of our bed and this fit the bill! It is a solid oak piece, very sturdy, and absolutely beautiful! Great price for the quality we received. The fabric on the seat is rich looking and elegant. Now we have somewhere to sit down to put our shoes on without messing up the bed. Thanks Overstock! This is a winner!

After much looking for a hallway bench, I was hesitant to purchase such a product online due to expense of returning it. However I bit the bullet after reading favorable reviews, and I'm happy I did. The bench is beautiful, a combination of burgundy/gold/touch of black in a sort of paisley pattern. The legs are unusual in their shape and are noticed by everyone. The bench arrived well packed and it took my husband 5 minutes to assemble, anyone can do it. I read prior reviews that the legs don't attach well, but that is not my finding. The bench is very sturdy. I am very happy I took the chance. The price was great especially with free shipping or even $2.95 shipping. I've been looking around and have seen flimsier benches for much more. Hope this helps.
