This bench has been working out great! My husband is very happy to have a bench right inside the doorway to sit on while lacing up shoes. My 2.5-year-old likes to climb up on it for me to put his shoes, hat and jacket on. The cubbies are great for having less things sitting out and in the way, the Velcro on the cushion keeps it from sliding off the bench, the height is great. Overall its great. My only reason for not giving five stars is that the back wood piece for the bench did not have the stain look on the sides, so you see a different color when you look at the bench from the side for that slim back piece. Drives me nuts, so I try to ignore that detail.
There was a picture of a childs room I saw once posted and I was trying to recreate it or atleast something like it.
So I looked and looked and I found this and bought it.
Since I am not savvy with putting them together by myself, of course I enlisted my husbands help.
He was able to put them together easily He is a do it yourselfer anyways so it shouldnt bother him a bit.
I measured the room and decided which goes with what.
It looks great.
The pad looks dirty now, and I still have to wash them and dry them out, my son has colored on it.
He rarely uses it as a seat , he puts his toys there and play.
They are very sturdy.
Had them for a year now. The color compliments my sons room a lot.
Its really cute , but not as big as I wanted it . Only needed a strew driver to put it together but if you want to put the back on youll also need a hammer .
Very sturdy and heavy. Seems like it will last a while. Decent cushion. Instructions clear and accurate. Seating surface large enough for a 6 220 lb male to sit comfortably.
We were looking for some toy storage in our living room so that it didnt look overrun by our toddler, and this worked out perfectly. Its small and fits well in the corner. The drawers that go with it hide everything well. It came on time, was pretty easy to put together, and seems to hold up pretty well. I will probably get another one to make a toy corner in the living room.
My husband is in love with this. He is 71 and said he is getting too old to kneel and put his boots on. He wanted a place to sit. We had to do very little rearranging. Got rid of a standing tree coat rack and ordered this plus a wall-mounted coat rack for above it. He assembled it within two hours, despite the fact that instructions were not all in the right sequence. (The side panels have to be in place and ready to attach before the bottom panel can be attached. Also, there were dowels for the bottom panel that go no where. Eliminated them.)
The only complaint, and not much of one, is that we chose the bench in espresso, liking the dark brown color, and it is really almost black. The cushion is a nice surprise. The cover is a water-resistant fabric and has a zipper, I suppose in case you ever want to replace the cover or the foam inside. It also has velcro on the bottom to keep it from falling off the bench, or moving around on the bench. Now my husband stores his boots in the cubicles and the area is so much neater than before. Note, that this is a very small unit. For us, it fit perfectly without our having to move any furniture around, and at 16 inches, it is narrow enough that there is no interference with our front door opening. It also appears to be very sturdy, with no wobble or motion to it. We consider it to be an excellent value for what we paid.
My husband was so happy to sit and try it as soon as he finished assembling it. That evening our son-in-law came over and the first thing he did was sit on it and say, I could use this when I put my boots on. Exactly. We will all be happy with this purchase.

Happy
Solid built . I am happy with this. I put this in front of my air intake so I left the back cover plate off
Really liked the bench
Really liked the bench. Very nice to sit upon while putting on or taking off shoes, boots. I also like the storage slots.
Just what we were looking for

Super handy and sturdy
I bought two of these. Super handy and sturdy. It takes about 15-20 minutes to put together. I would def order more.

Sturdy piece of furniture
Bought to go in our hallway to sit on when putting on shoes and to store shoes underneath. Nice sturdy item which looks smart and hides clutter.
