"One side came damaged. The white painted wood was obviously gouged out before it was put into the packaging for shipping. It would have saved a lot of hassle if they had just replaced it right away. Home Decorators did get a new panel sent to me . Also it was quite complicated to put together and I am pretty handy."

fasteners a little tricky
Date:January 22, 2013
"The type of hidden fasteners with this bench are a little tricky - sometimes you have to adjust how far they are in the hole to make it work. Luckily, I have put together a similar piece before and already knew about it. Instructions had lots of pictures and very detailed. No missing parts. Very sturdy."

Very high quality
Date:January 6, 2013
"I purchased this in white for extra towel storage and also as an aid for my 87 year old mother. If she needs it she can sit on it after her shower. It is the best quality "put together furniture" made in China that I have ever purchased. It came packaged very well, no scratches or mars, hardware was labeled and packaged seperately. Very sturdy. Perfect for my needs."

Good value, nice looking bench
Date:January 4, 2013
"I found the bench to be study and nice looking. It was not hard to put together but the way the directions are written makes me understand why some reviewers would say it was (it includes many run-on sentences). It was difficult, however, to find a cushion that would fit it. It is more narrow than than the "standard" bench cushion (the home decorators collection did not sell the right size cushion). It took a lot of (internet) searching to find a cushion that would work but now it looks great in my mudroom and I am very pleased with it."

Too Hard to Put Together
Date:December 28, 2012
"this was a 4 hour nightmare! We could not get the locking screws to work, and some are stripped. Needless to say, our bench looks a little haphazard and there are gaps and holes where the sides/bottom/top are supposed to fit together. How do you return something you have started to put together, that weighs 75 pounds? This was a BIG MISTAKE"

Nice looking, good value, but ...
Date:December 16, 2012
"We knew the bench would have to be assembled; however it arrived without instructions, and we had to wait 2 days before we could put it together. Otherwise, this is a perfect piece of furniture for our entryway."

Quality not what I have gotten in the past
Date:December 5, 2012
"I have assembled many pieces of furniture, mainly from the Martha Stewart collection, and this small piece was not up to par. There are parts that are not completely glued together and some places where the paint had dripped -- the instructions were not as easy to follow as other pieces I have assembled.
All in all it is average."

Lovely Storage Bench
Date:November 27, 2012
"We purchased the 36" wide bench in white. The bench is being used in the laundry room for storage and to sit on when changing shoes. It can also be used to store childrens toys. The top has a safety hinge, so it will not fall. Overall, we are very satisfied with this bench. It is very good looking, and was priced well."

nice storage bench
Date:October 7, 2012
"I purchased this so the grandkids had a place to put their bookbags each day instead of throwing them in the floor. It is a perfect size for 2 book bags and shoes. I wish it had come in more color selections. It was a little challenging to put it together."

Great Purchase
Date:August 31, 2012
"I really love my new window seat! It was exactly what I thought it would be! It was the right size and very good quality! My husband had a little trouble assembling the window seat, but this job is not his forte, and he eventually did a great job!I would recommend purchasing this item!"

very hard to assemble
Date:July 27, 2012
"I am a master Ikea assembler, so the other reviews about the difficult assembly didn't phase me. But about four pages into the instructions, it's true: there is an exact order that the sides, back and front must be assembled in order for the pegs to align, and the instructions simply do not give any clarity on the matter. It's all trial-and-error from that point on. And, in our case, mostly error.
We ended up scratching the front twice in our attempts to flip the half-assembled unit this way and that, and I'm glad our kids were sleeping because the language issuing forth was not pretty.
We did finally succeed, and the finished piece--though particle board--does look nice, especially given the price. But it was a headache to assemble. And judging by how easily the front scratched during assembly, I don't have high hopes that the thin finish will last long in our daughter's room."

For the price...
Date:July 27, 2012
"it is fine. A few FYIs: Follow every single direction page exactly as it is written in the order it is written. I made the mistake of doing some steps ahead of time and kicked myself because I had to loosen and take them apart to get the piece assembled correctly. Be sure to assemble this on carpet, but not on good carpet. It is dusty, but it will ding if you do it on a hard, rough surface. The allen wrench included does everything EXCEPT for the back panel, which requires a phillips head screwdriver, but the direction do not tell you this. I'm using this is my back hallway/laundry room off of my garage. I would never put it in a widely public area as I doubt it will hold up very well."

Nice appearance, terrible quality
Date:July 16, 2012
"Assembly on this piece is a nightmare. The cam locks, commonly used in Ikea-level quality construction, did not fit adequately in their pre-drilled holes and did not keep cam screws tight once they were put together. As a consequence, this makes the entire piece of furniture loose and unstable. I don't know how this problem is fixable, and as a result of trying every which way to get the unit to stabilize, the cam screws broke from their wholes and damaged the underlying particle board, ruining the unit. While the piece was briefly assembled (still very loose and unstable) it looked great, it just wasn't functional. I would never recommend this piece to anybody, for poor craftsmanship and build quality alone."
