I bought two of the benches. They were fairly easy to assemble, very comfortable, I love the look with the accent stitching, and the price is great especially for the quality, look, and comfort of the bench. I would definitely recommend.
The instructions are inadequate. For example, one of the end panels has large bolt holes at one end that are not shown in the instructions, so you have to logic it out. I imagine quite a few people have screwed that panel in backward or upside-down and had to unscrew and flip it. Affixing the lid was the hardest part. The many screws used for this are small and short, and some of the pre-drilled holes are not aligned right. As always with particle board, if you screw too tight, you will strip the hole. Particle board just does not grip a screw like real wood. I ended up shimming the holes with match sticks to ensure a grip. Im an old guy with good tools and a lot of experience building furniture. This was the worst build experience ever. On the other hand, its a nice unit once you get it together.
I fell in love with the look, however it had so many dings in it, normally a few is fine but it had a lot in the front boards. Also I’m missing the entire baggie of screws to screw in the bottom of it.

Beautiful piece of entryway furniture
I LOVE this. Its very sturdy. It came fully put together, well packaged without a scratch and adds that perfect pop of color.
Very difficult build

Worth it!
I love this bench. It is small enough to fit the entry way and big enough to hold everyones shoes! Great value for the money.
Beautiful and no assembly

Missing screws.
