48" Open Top Storage Bench with Shoe Shelf - Saracina Home

Easy to put together so far like it but just received it.

Two of the feet were missing to stop the bench from gouging the floor.

Very easy to put together and very good quality. Happy with purchase

The bench is structurally very sturdy. The grey wood printed adhesive strips around the top of the bench started peeling after just two weeks. Not very practical for a shoe storage bench. Those strips seem faulty with virtually no adhesive. It makes the bench looks pretty unfinished with rough exposed edges without these adhesive strips. I would not recommend.

Great bench! We have had our bench for a year and it still looks and works perfect. It’s used in our entry and the seat storage space is used to hold and hide away our dogs stuff for quick access to leashes, collar, etc. and nice shoe storage below. Looks cute. Not solid wood, it’s an mdf product but I knew that going in reading the description. Still looks great. Very happy with this purchase.

Bench is sturdy and loved how it matched with other furniture in our entryway.

After a few months the fake wood is peeling off.

The hinge brook in less than six months. Bench not worth the price. Poor quality.

Good quality! We were hesitant about it not being real wood but you can barely tell the difference. Perfect addition to our entryway

Pretty bench but when it finally arrived there was a 3.5 inch scratch across the wood front.

Looks nice, fairly easy to assemble. Perfect piece for what I was looking for!

Easy to put together and pretty sturdy, though I did use a power tool on a couple of sections even though instructions did not reccomend. I use this as a workout bench that doubles as furniture and so far I have no concerns. I am not sure how much the bottom shelf holds but right now I have about 30lbs on either edge. It bowed a bit when I set them in the center but so far I am enjoying this piece a lot.

Good quality and perfect for entryway. Very sturdy & nice hidden storage too!

One of the board on the bottom that was already installed the screw was stripped upon arrival.

Very easy to assemble. The color is great and I just love all the storage inside!

Appears very high quality and was easy to put together. Love it and so glad I purchased it!

The bench is beautiful, just like the picture! It's a great way to add storage and hide the mess in our living room. :)

Item broke after 5 months on the hinge.

Overall, I like the bench, but parts of it seem cheap, arriving with gouges and small pieces broken off. These defects don't affect function, but not being made of real wood, they don't blend in as well. At least the bench's aesthetic is meant to be more rough anyway. At an entryway located on the side of the house, I don't care so much, but I might if it were to go somewhere more visible. I do feel it's expensive for the quality, though. I'm not sure how well it will hold up to being sprayed and wiped down regularly, given some of the peeling that's already occurred; it seems like paper on top. Assembly was mostly easy, though a couple holes in the metal weren't quite aligned, and I had to exert some force and try several times to get the screw in. It's also possible to put together without another person's help, though a bit annoying when it comes time to attach the hinged lid to the rest of the bench. You can't do it with the bench on its "back" because the hinge won't reach it, so I set the bench close to the wall, and used the wall to prop up the lid; it took a couple tries to move the hinge where I needed it, without the lid dropping in back of the bench.

Looks & functions great! Easy to put together with the help of a 2nd person.
