Works well for my space
Date:May 3, 2013
"This is a nice piece of furniture, but some of the pieces are very thin. For the price I would have expected seriously solid wood all around. Also, some of my pieces were made poorly and had non-smooth sections."

Color Was Deceiving
Date:April 25, 2013
"This storage bench arrived quickly. It is a nice size for a tight space, and very useful, with lots of space inside. Installation was very easy, and I chose not to attach the shoe shelves inside, so we could keep our tall boots inside. They sit on the bottom nicely. The only thing I am disappointed about is the color. In the photos, it shows Driftwood color as a sort of natural, whitewashed color (which is a perfect match to my kitchen cabinets). But it is not. It looks more of a brownish-gray color. Pretty ugly, actually. So I just stuck this in a hallway where it would not be as noticeable. The cushion that comes with it is sort of a scratchy fabric too, not as soft as I had imagined (think potato sack scratchy). I might just take the cushion off altogether. One or two parts did have scratches on, but they are either in the back or inside, so not noticeable. Be sure to clean all pieces off though, as they are very dirty/dusty. I give this 3 stars because of its shortcomings, but it is still a useful and useable bench that is very easy to put together (and I did not even need hubby to help!)."

Great buy
Date:February 5, 2013
"The shoe bench look really nice, and overall was a great buy. The 2 things that I did not expect was
1. the difference in color from the picture which looked lighter than what it was in reality. We purchased the "antique ivory" with sky blue cushion.
2. the section where the shoes stores is very heavy, we needed to add some felt in it so it will have a smoother closing."

Nice, but ...
Date:February 1, 2013
"One panel was missing two drilled holes (requiring a hasty search for a friend with a drill to loan), and there was a stain on the cushion. The wood finish color is a bit darker than the photo. Overall, it is a nice addition to an entry way. The pull-out drawer design, with three compartments,works well. If all the holes had been drilled, and the cushion unstained, it would get a rating of 5 stars."

Nice way to hide shoes
Date:January 28, 2013
"Product is relatively easy to assemble. There were a few blemishes in my wood - looked like it had been scraped on something in production. Fortunately, they were on parts I could hide. I'm 5 feet tall and it's the perfect height for sitting on while putting on socks or shoes."

Shoe storage bench
Date:January 28, 2013
"Bought this bench to be modified into a hidden cat litter box, by cutting a hole and installing a cat door on the side that's out of sight. It matches the cabinet color we want to use in our large master bedroom closet, and the cats love sleeping on it under the window. Everyone's happy!."

disappointed in color
Date:January 27, 2013
"Although this was described as antique ivory the picture shown was more on the white side than the actual piece, which was almost beige and I was dismayed to see it was painted to look shabby chic, with an orange line around the outer surfaces. A coat of whiter paint will solve that problem. Delivery was quite fast and it arrived in good condition with no parts missing."

Love this bench!
Date:January 27, 2013
"I searched high and low for the perfect bench for our small back entryway. This bench fit every one of my criteria and is just as terrific in person as it is on-line! I needed something small, something antique black and if it offered storage that was a bonus! The shoe storage in this bench is excellent. The only negative (so far) with the bench is that the drawer is SO heavy and has pretty serious spring action to close it. I am a little concerned about my little ones getting their hands smashed in it so I need to research and find some way to child-proof it without damaging the wood. I gave it four stars for apprearance because I'm not crazy about the cover on the pillow - looks a little cheap - but I can live with it. Overall, excellent purchase!"

I only gave it a Moderately Easy for assembly because there are a couple of steps that are a little difficult for just one person. Original shipment included a damaged lid and was missing the bolts to attach it. However, customer service was super!!!"

Nice Hidden Storage Shoe Bench
Date:January 22, 2013
"We purchased two oak color shoe benches and put them shoulder by shoulder at the entrance. They look very nice and sturdy. The shoe racks are in three difference sizes, the top layer is smallest and bottom layer is largest, perfect for different sizes of shoes in a family. The workmanship is good. It took about 45 min to assemble one, for us, it could be less difficult. The cushions look cheap though, but overall we think they are great value and happy with our purchase!"

Just what we needed
Date:January 22, 2013
"This storage bench is well worth it! Fairly easy to assemble, clear directions Holes matched up, tight fit which lends to overall sturdiness. The shoe dividers are "shelf like" not "cubbies" which is another nice feature, giving the storage area a multi purpose use. We bought 2 units and left the dividers out of the second one. The cushion fits perfectly in a king sized sham. Lovely piece of furniture. Highly recommended. Speedy shipping, great price. Overall... 5 stars."

Poor instructions
Date:January 18, 2013
"This bench is nice and the only one I could find in this size. The "instructions" were not easy to follow and consisted of pictures and no verbal instructions. We eventually figured it out through trial and error, but it was much more difficult to assemble than the file cabinet I assembled the same day, which had much better instructions. I also think this is overpriced. It looks nice, hopefully it will be durable. I only assembled it a week ago."

Good basic storage bench
Date:January 11, 2013
"We bought 2 of these benches with the brown finish to fit within two dormer windows. After looking at many choices from many vendors, we settled on these because the were the correct size needed for us. These are not heirloom pieces. They are made mostly of MDF, but they look nice enough and seem sturdy. For the price, they are great. They will not see a lot of traffic, which is good because the finish can get dinged easily. They were well packaged, but as we took the pieces out for assembly we did nick a couple of corners - we used a brown marker to touch up the nicks. The bench pads are nice - neutral color - but the pad is sort of thin - my wife is thinking about re-covering them.
Most of the assembly is fairly easy and straightforward with a couple of exceptions: when putting the exterior sides and bottom around the interior tilt-out assembly, you really need an extra pair of hands to hold things together while you get the screws in - or else the tilt-out assembly will come apart. All parts are labeled with stickers, but I believe the instructions might have the left and right sides of the bench switched - the pic is correct but the labels are wrong. Also, there are several long black screws and 4 shorter ones - so be sure you note the difference. The 4 shorter ones are used to secure the top of the bench to the base. The longer screws are used for all other places. Some but not all of the longer screws use the ikea-style anchors. Everything uses a screwdriver rather than an allen wrench, and clearance is tight in some places. A small ratchet screwdriver is best - or maybe even one of those gooseneck screwdrivers...
If you want a larger interior storage space in these, you can assemble them without the dividers that go into the tilt-out tray. You can have both or just one or none and I don't think it will affect the structural integrity of the piece. Without the dividers you could probably fit a quilt or two in the storage area (depending on size or thickness."

Good for the price
Date:December 27, 2012
"I purchased the gray bench. It looks white online but it is definitely a medium gray with a lighter gray cushion; thankfully it still looks nice in the room. The assembly instructions are not difficult to follow but there was a mistake. If I weren't giving this my full attention I would have really messed it up. Also, the screws for the top are too long so they push almost through the top of the lid. No one can tell with the cushion on top and it does not poke through completely so it's ok. Overall this was still a good deal for the price."

Shoe Size?
Posted December 30, 2012
Do you know roughly what size shoe this would hold? I wear a size 12, so the shoe holders would need to be at least 12" and still clear the top of the bench when closing. Also, how many pairs will fit per row? It looks like 3, maybe 4?
