VASAGLE Entryway Storage Bench, Flip Top Storage Ottoman and Trunk with Padded Seat, Bed End Stool, Hallway Living Room Bedroom, Supports 198 lb, Industrial, Rustic Brown and Black ULSC80BX

Based on the reviews I read, I was a bit concerned about the quality of this storage bench, but I figured I could fix any minor issues so I purchased it anyway. I ended up liking it so much, I purchased two more, stacking two of them on top of each other for more storage space. This is a nice quality furniture piece, the instructions are easy to follow, and I love the barn door!It took me 45 minutes to put together the first bench, and got a little faster with the other two. I do recommend laying out all the pieces before beginning assembly to familiarize yourself with the pieces. And pay attention to each step in the instructions! Someone posted a video that the pieces didn't fit together, but it's clear that they assembled them incorrectly (they put the bottom piece on backwards). All the pieces fit together nicely and I didn't run into any problems with any of the three benches. They all look beautiful with everything nicely aligned and working correctly.If possible, I recommend using your own tools, as the included screwdriver and allen wrench - although thoughtful additions - are pretty low quality. Other than that, assembling these benches was a pleasant experience, and I'm thrilled with the final result!I was also a bit concerned that the cubbies were going to be too small, but this wasn't the case. My hubby wears size 13 sneakers, and although they stick out a little bit at the heel, they fit just fine. My shoes fit perfectly. And I like how the shelves can be adjusted to the level you want them for taller shoes. You can even leave some of the selves out for boots.Some other nice details that I haven't seen others mention is that you get small round stickers matching the finish of the bench that you can use to cover the camlocks, or use them to cover any scratches that might happen in the future. There are also extras of each piece of hardware in case you loose any of them. And several extra little screws are included in case you want to add more to the backboard. I do recommend doing this as otherwise the backboard tends to curve out a bit with humidity in the air.I love this piece of furniture and I saved the brand in my favorites list. I like the look of many of their items, and now that I know the quality, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase more from them. In fact, I already got a smaller shelf unit that matches the width of the benches to add even more storage space. Happy with the result!

This product is pretty awesome. I was looking for a storage bench to keep my puppy from chewing on shoes and found this one for a decent price and thought I’d give it a try. When I first started assembling it everything was labeled And easy to read (The boards, the screws etc. ). The instructions were super clear (I had bought a cheaper design and I swear you had to have an engineering degree to understand what they were trying to attempt you to do put it together) and this was so easy to put together I was able to do it in less than an hour I would say. I was a little worried at first that it wasn’t gonna be very sturdy (thinking I need to add some wood glue or something) but as soon as I put in the screws in it just made everything so much sturdier and better. Looks super great and it’s amazing and is doing exactly what I needed for a safe space from my puppy for my shoes lol. I did end up using a drill on the last portion for all the screws didn’t need to but it just went quicker. All the holes lined up that were pre-drilled, the Allen wrenches were the correct size for each package item, and the screwdriver was in mint condition although I didn’t use it since I opted for the drill. All in all I am super satisfied with this product and wish I wouldn’t of wasted my money on the cheap thing I bought and just went with this first

While this chest doesn’t not see much activity on a regular basis, it is a sturdy piece of furniture. I do sit on it often though and even then, I don’t feel any wiggle or teetering. I am 270lbs so I’m used to things not being able to hold me for long. The cushion is comfortable to sit on for a time but nothing to lounge on. I clean it every once in a while and it cleans well. Still looks basically new, considering my dog pees on it from time to time. It also measured exactly as stated and fit right where I intended for it.All in all. A great product and well worth the purchase. I’d buy it again if I ever found another place to put one.
