SIMPLIHOME Adams 48" Solid Wood Entryway Storage Bench with Safety Hinge - Rustic Black Multifunctional Hallway Seat for Living Room, Entryway & Family Room - Perfect for Shoe Storage, Seating & Home Decor

Arrived in good condition except for a small gash on the bottom of one of the front panels. Made the gash look better by using some Old English. Bench was well packed and pieces were well protected. Directions putting the bench together were fairly easy to follow. Make sure the end supports with the legs are positioned so the predrilled holes are in the rear and not in the front. That's the one goof I made, but it only took a few minutes to correct. Err! One nice touch is the spring supported bench seat. The seat will stay in the open position until you push the seat down. The dark rustic brown finish works well with the dark browns of the picture frame which hangs above the bench and the other brown finishes in the family room. Makes a great addition to the entranceway to our house. I use the compartments to store footwear and my dog's leash. Now I have a place to sit while putting on the leash and my crocs. I also store the crocs in the bench. Very sturdy. Plan to buy a bench cushion for the seat, but there aren't that many out there in the 42" by 15" size. There is a place to order one online but the cost is almost $90. Err! Overall, my wife and I really like this piece of furniture.
