This is now somewhere in my attic! The legs would move around and the fabric was easily snagged. Actually I am not sure why I held on to this - maybe reinforce the legs, paint them and reupholster? It’s probably easier to just buy another. Anyway, if you want a project after a few years of use, this is the bench for you :)

Nice bench, but faulty hinge

Bench is functional and mostly perfect for our intended space and use (putting down luggage, sitting on to put on socks and shoes). It’s fairly plush so is nice to sit on. But the screws were loose on the right side of the lid and the top piece shifted about 3/4”. We got it mostly stabilized, but were unable to tighten 3 of those screws. We aren’t planning to have it be opened a lot, and it’s a nuisance to have to return, especially if the next one arrives the same way, so we’ll keep it, err. But if you’re planning to open and close it a lot, maybe consider something else.

Purchased the orange and cream medallion style. Love the size and fabric. The storage is a bonus. Perfect height for seating while dressing. But assembly is disappointing. The hinges were mounted on the wrong side of the top, so the fabric pattern on top and front do not match. Bench is not as pictured, but it’s not worth the trouble of returning / trying to exchange. My solution is to use the bench with the hinges (and preferred pattern) facing to the center of the room.

This item would have been more than great if the shipping company (UPS) would have paid any attention to the arrow on the box as to how it should be transported. They set it up on end, which caused the hinges to warp so the top is just a bit off-set. Also, it appeared that the bench had been shipped out and returned a number of times. the "feet" were not properly "repackaged" and so were loose inside the chest to roll around and scar the others. There was glitter inside the bench also, which was kind of strange to me. I'm guessing someone used it for however long, and then returned it. For my purposes, this bench works well, and the fabric is beige, not the yellow the photo seems to depict. Either color would have worked well for me. Overall, I am very pleased with the bench.

Just what we were looking for!

This bench is great! We had ordered the Guernsey Faux Leather Storage Ottoman Bench by Christopher Knight Home but it came with bad hinges and already stripped screw holes so we returned it. After intense comparisons between all the different benches on Overstock and all the other sites we decided on this one. We are using it in our entry way to house shoes and to provide a place to sit down when you put your shoes on. It is a good height for sitting down to put on your shoes and is wide enough to easily accommodate 2 people but not TOO long (our space isn't huge). It is sturdy and comes assembled - all you need to do is twist the legs on and it is ready to use. It is tall enough internally to hold my shoes, my boyfriend's big tennis shoes, and my ankle height boots. My shoes are about a size 6/6.5 for reference in the photos.
