International Concepts Shaker Style Bench RTA - Cinnamon/Espresso Finish - Ready-to-Assemble Entryway Seating for Hallway, Bedroom or Dining Room

It arrived a little earlier than expected. All we had to do was screw the legs into place. It only took a few minutes. They did a good job with the paint...smooth black finish. It is solid and well made. I placed it in a small entry hall at my side door and it is just what I wanted to add a welcoming touch. I may order a second one for my front porch.Purchased this bench in white for extra seating in the nursery. It’s fantastic! Solid wood and really sturdy. I put a couple rectangle coiled rope baskets underneath, and a lumbar pillow on top. It’s both chic and functional. Highly recommend!I love this bench so much! It is extremely sturdy and assembly was simple. There are no blemishes, and it looks a LOT more expensive than it is. I just love it!First, this was delivered super-fast. Second, it was thoughtfully and safely packed, and the instructions were crystal-clear. But I could have put it together without any instructions, so simple and clear is its construction. It took me less than 10 minutes to build what turned out to be a truly timeless and versatile piece of furniture. Seems quite sturdy. The black finish is just beautiful. I bought it to use as extra seating at my dining table, but I feel sure I will move it around and use it as a coffee table at my sofa when I want to serve snacks and drinks more casually. This well-priced purchase is an A+. I am already looking at other offerings from the manufacturer.It looks great with my table and can be stored at the island otherwise where my decorative cat stays .If you've seen the Tekton Design (larger) center channel speakers, you'll know what I'm talking about.Example: Tekton Design "Pendragon Center"I May think about the Pendragon Center- but with 7-Tweeter Array upgrade(if possible which I Think it is), which might(?) make it even bigger. with the 4 additional mid-tweeters.Over all this bench will make a great center speaker stand and is sturdy. I will very likely put a cushion under my (future) center speaker on top of the - INTERNATIONAL CONCEPTS SHAKER STYLED BENCH (BLACK). This can also add a bit more height to it, bringing the speaker up a little. I am currently using a TV, on top of a skinny table.- Also RTA (in the title for the item/bench) means Ready to Assemble- if you're wondering.Thank you International Concepts, for making / providing this *FINISHED Bench, much appreciated.Please make more finished products! :) .. please make finished skinny tables :) (sofa table)- in many colors!!! :)^this would be awesome and sell well!! ( 48" / 60" / 72" ) = Just to clarify here : I'm talking about the 30" high sofa/console tables.TIP: if you're new to putting the legs on, don't tighten one leg all the way then the next, just assemble it all together, then go around tightening each part bit at a time, this way you don't over tighten one and cause a problem or cracking in the leg bracers inside the table, .. I had that happen with a different table a long time ago by a different brand, just a heads up / advice.Thanks and good luck!This is a sturdy little bench which I purchased to put at the end of my bed to sit and put shoes on. Perfect for what I needed. Had to order two of these benches because the first one arrived with greasy fingerprints all over it and a couple of scratches. It appeared as if I was sent a customer return (not cool). Reordered and got a bench in perfect condition that was super easy to assemble. It's not the largest bench nor the tallest but is exactly what I needed. I recommend checking the measurements to ensure a perfect fit.I got the bench because I have an extremely large family. This bench Can add mode seating and takes up less space than having two chairs there.
