Safavieh Hudson Collection Williamsburg Brown Leather Large Storage Bench - Stylish Ottoman for Living Room, Bedroom & Entryway Storage

Shipping: All that one could hope for! It arrived on time and without a blemish. It was packed with obvious care - even in a bag to keep the leather from scratches.The Bench: This is a beautiful, sturdy piece of furniture; the picture does it justice. With it's large storage capacity, I now have more room in the dresser and closet shelves. The padded lid makes it a great place to sit while putting on socks and shoes without having to go to another room (the bed is too high). I was a bit concerned about other reviews saying the hardware for the lid was shoddy, but so far I've found it to be just fine. There's a slight resistance on opening and closing, which keeps it from slamming and nothing is exposed or loose. I have zero complaints about this product!Edit after 8 years: Still loving it! No discernible wear, hinges still work fine. This was an excellent buy.
