Very nice hall bench with storage, pretty much what we needed. However, it was a BEAR to put together (and my husband is super good at putting things together). It took all day, there were a bajillion parts, screws, etc. and the instructions weren't necessarily in order of what goes next. I like how it looks and functions but wish the area up top was deeper for baskets (of hats and gloves). Maybe if the whole thing was deeper, the bench is shallow. All that said, and I still like it and it works for the space in the mudroom entrance.

1. Lots of chips in paint 2. Hardware marked incorrectly 3. Cam locks a couple of them didn’t line up 4. 7 hours to put together. Once together looks nice except for the chips in paint

Just as pictured, took a few hours to put together but with the directions they were easy to follow. The main back board is a little flimsy but the rest of it was really nice. Works well in my hallway. Bought containers for the bottom cubbies to put all our gloves and hats in. Overall it’s a nice addition to our home and would recommend.

Lots of parts but straight forward in putting together. Will be much easier with 2 people. Solid wood bench looks good. I swapped out the golden hardware for black and feel it looks much better. A small added cost.

this is a beautiful piece! Only complaint is one door brushes the bench when opening and closing.
