Linen Upholstered Storage Bench

Now that it’s together it looks fine though a bit cheap. The stain was to be espresso but it was quite purple and in direct sunlight is obvious. Color chips off easily and the veneer piece across the front is already coming unglued. The hinges are impossible to screw in as instructed, we had to take apart the top back (which was connected in step one) in order to reach the screws.. There are no pre drilled holes for the safety lever (flap fitting) and once installed is a bit fussy to get the lid to lay flat. The way the cushion was packed left a large indent in the foam.

Sturdy, really cute and firm cushion. It's cuter in real life than the picture shows.

It’s but sturdy, very low profile. Cushion is chintzy and not attractive.

Assembling was more difficult because the directions were not good. I needed to unassembled to reassembled several times to make all parts to fit.

Easy to put together and looks great on the area we chose for it.

Looks great in our small entry

Once built the bench looks great. Big tip for anybody building it, put the hinges on section 4 and 5 before connecting to the cabinet. The instructions are wrong and they say to put the hinges on last, that is almost impossible to do. Look at some of the other reviews who say the same thing. If you wait till the end you'll have to rebuild the whole thing from scratch. So take my tip hinges go on section four and five before you connect the whole cabinet together.

Fits the area perfectly and brings seating to the area

If it wasn’t so much trouble to rebox and return, this bench would have been sent back. No instructions, though I did get them sent via email. The instructions omitted an important step, which meant I had to take the bench completely apart and start over by attaching hinges in the beginning. Absolutely impossible at the end, as instructions say. Materials inferior. Wood or wood products split when securing screws. Listing said 250 pound seating. Item itself says 200. Not sure it’s even safe to sit on. The lid drags on the end /arms and will only open a short way, making it difficult ti store in. It was delivered quickly and packaged well. The design is nice, but a waste of money for function. Wayfair, You might want to reevaluate this one.

Cute! Just as described. It’s just our style. Wish the bench opened wider. We are using it for backpacks. Note, the cushion isn’t very thick. Am curious how long the material will last. Instructions and installation was a little challenging with the door. Otherwise, super easy set up.
