Love this little bench! I was so happy when I found it since it perfectly matched my bedroom set (finish and knobs). Worked great on a small wall that really needed something. Hubby put it together in about 20 minutes and didnt curse at all! :) Check your measurements because its on the small side but it was exactly what I needed. Love it!!!
Fit and Finish of this product the worst Ive seen. Benches at local home centers at 1/2 the price twice as good. If I was not in a time crunch it would have gone back.
Exactly what we wanted. Turned it into a media cabinet so we could mount the tv over the fireplace and hide the components. Ive uploaded pics. It fits our cable box, blueray, wifi, etc, plus adds additional seating for 2 if we have a crowd.
I absolutely love this bench! Its sturdy, has a beautiful warm tone and is exactly as pictured/described. I would have given it 5 stars, but when it arrived the top piece was cracked and the finish was scratched on two other pieces. It did come packaged with a replacement parts sheet to fill out and send in, so this probably isnt the first time quality control has failed at this company. However, we filled out the sheet and received the replacement parts in excellent condition about two weeks later. All in all Im very happy with this purchase and it was well worth the wait!!!
Purchased this after reading a number of reviews about the difficulty assembling it. Sure enough, assembly was a frustrating experience. The supplied dowels were 3/8 in diameter while the pre-drilled holes were 5/8 in diameter.
Assembly is difficult and it definitely requires two people to assemble, but the finished product looks nice.
For the price point of $135 it is worth it even with the assembly frustration.
When I later told my employee that the bench is supposed to support up to 400lbs, he laughed sarcastically. He said it didnt feel that sturdy and he would guess 200lb capacity max.
We will see...
Great deal!! High quality and great design! Serves the purpose and not a bad price. The craftsmenship is a little sloppy and I had to make some adjustments to make the doors close properly. Looks great and great for putting all my wifes college books inside and out of view.
Nice sturdy bench, great walnut color. Looks really cute in my front entry way and hides all my hubbys shoes and motorcycle gear! Yay! I am a 27 year old wifey ( aka I dont build much!) and I put this thing together both with the tool provided and a power drill and it took me about an hour and a half ( I was watching a movie, too). The only issue is that the front doors dont really line up...I even had hubby look at it to make sure it wasnt just my building skills that messed it up. All in all, not really that bad and I can deal with it for the price. We will keep it anyway.
Okay, I love reading reviews on before buying stuff on here, so thank you all! I dont understand how people had trouble assembling this piece however, I did it by myself, or rather with the help of my three-year-old daughter. I agree it is helpful to have someone hold some pieces during the middle of assembly. The quality is great, much of the piece is real solid wood! Has a good weight to it and looks good and seems very solid. Im very happy with this purchase and it is just the right size for the space in my entryway, not tiny, but not too big either!

Good quality but some assembly steps go much better with a second pair of hands.
Five Stars
Its very nice looking and doesnt look cheap.

Value for the money as long as you are handy
