Ordered the expresso color and was not like the picture. The wood has a lot of red in it. The cushion is also very cheap looking. The bench is well made except the bottom is particle board. My take, a bit expensive for what you get.

We were very disappointed. In particular the lid hinge pre-drilled holes were not in the proper position. We did not realize it until we first tried to close the lid and cracked the back board. We ended up not using the lid hinges. We now have to be careful when opening the lid to ensure we do not smash our fingers.

Easy set up and came with a marker to touch up if it got a scratch or knick in the future, which a lot of manufacturers don’t do. Very sturdy and beautiful.

Love it, great storage bench, very sturdy!

Very solid, put in our Carolina room, storing towels for the pool, but also adds seating for our guests, Very classy!
