So, this product is sturdy and mostly easy to assemble. The hinges are a little weird when assembling and if you dont do it just right then they wont line up. Took me a few minutes to figure out how to do that part correctly. The only really bad thing was my own lack of organization skills lol. This thing has a TON of screws, and I couldnt for the life of me find my little drill, so I ended up with a blister from putting it together. Thats no fault of the product though . Overall, this is a great product, but make sure you have a small drill on hand because youll be using about 40/50 screws (I didnt count them, but there is a crap ton).
Overall, a decent bench for the price. Not sure if its me or the bench, but I am unable to attach the last latches to hold the top of the bench open. I tried 4 different ways to assemble that step and nothing worked. Perhaps the holes are in the wrong spot. Not happy about that part.
Customer service gets 5 stars they were quick to respond and take care of my issues with this product. I am changing to a 5 star review because of the customer service. I followed the instructions precisely and gave up my whole night to put this together only to find out that the hinges do not line up or function at all when following instructions and using pilot holes as instructed. I have assembled almost every piece of furniture in my house by myself with no problems until now! I am sore I am bleeding and I have nothing to show for it. Now if I want a refund I need to spend yet another hour disassembling and repackaging it
Great storage bench for a reasonable price. Took a while to put together, especially the hinged part, but it works well and hides our bedsheets and other random things that dont have space in the closet. Holds at least 300lbs as my partner and I have sat on it at the same time. Top cushion is velcroed on so it wont slide off and the cushion itself has a cover that can be removed and washed. Great for any age.
Pros:
/sturdy
/simple and clean style
/decent storage
/cushion can be cleaned, has Velcro to keep it from sliding
Cons:
/assembly was not easy and you will either need a power drill or considerable strength. The hinges will likely need to be adjusted, which is not in the assembly instructions. The hinges will have two components that can be adjusted by unscrewing the screws already found on the hinges. You should NOT have to drill extra holes if you correctly adjust the hinges. It is not the easiest task, but worth it if you are a little handy.

Good bench with tricky hinges
Easy to assemble up until time to attach the hinges, then tricky.
Have a small drill handy!

Bench ok, Latch Assembly not ok

Sturdy and easy to assemble
This bench was exactly what I was looking for to put next to door for people to remove their shoes.

Sturdy, easy to put together
Great bench! Easy to put together. Sturdy. Hinges for lid work great. So happy to not have a shoe mess meeting me at the door.
Decoration
