I am very pleased with this affordable bench! It took my husband about half an hour to assemble with me kibitzing in the background and holding things as needed. We did use wood glue on the dowels per someone elses recommendation and gave the bench 24 hours after initial set up before use. We found the provided soft close hinge for the lid to be too limiting as the lid would not open fully, so removed it after several days. At some point in the future we will probably purchase a better one and install it, since it is a good idea. The hinge provided was just too short to allow full opening. The only other modifications will be felt feet on the bottom to provide easy sliding for cleaning purposes, and I did make a cushion for sitting comfort.
Everything came well labeled. The correct numbers of fasteners were in little bags and were labeled. An extra bag with an additional allen wrench and extra fasteners (1 of each) was included. The directions were pictorial, and after minor study my husband found them to be pretty clear. There were no issues with un-drilled pilot holes as reported by others. Were I to ever need another bench, I would not hesitate to purchase another one from this company.
BEAUTIFUL. I love this bench. It did come with a defective arm piece. .com took care of it by giving me a discount. I think adding some white paint to it will camouflage the gouge. Otherwise, excellent. I love the two compartments inside and then slow close hinge. Very comfortable to sit on and the perfect height!
This is a beautiful bench that is very good quality! It was very easy to put together and has a lot of storage. I received tons of complements on it! Love it!
Sturdy, Modern, Easy to Assemble! This is a great product. It was very easy to assemble, and was delivered without any flaws/damage - and in a timely manner. My only demerit for this product is the quality of the access door. I am meticulous and retentive, and I couldnt get the door to lay straight and not rub against the sides when it shuts. a little annoying, but overall for my purposes...great! sits beautifully in my eat-in kitchen area.
