This storage bench has been the perfect addition to my entryway! I'm incredibly impressed with the amount of storage room inside the bench, and I love that the lid actually stays open on its own and soft closes! I don't have to worry about having a hand free to hold the lid up, or worry about it falling down on my fingers. Assembly was as easy as it could be, you only need to put on the legs, it took less than 15 minutes. I love the color variations and the distressing and different levels in the wood. Not only is it stunning but with how it's made I think it'll stand up really well to wear and tear, and as a bonus any damage my husband happens to do to it, won't be noticable with the distressing already in place. Highly recommend, I can't find a single thing I don't love about it.
