Love this storage bench! Ordered to replace a previous armless storage bench that has seen better days. This item arrived well packaged to minimize damage, arrived earlier than expected which was great, and no stains on the item. I put it together within 20 minutes, very easy assembly. The directions are very easy to follow and straight forward. The bench feels very sturdy and well made. The color is beautiful and exactly as pictured online. After putting it together, the top needs a little muscle to open and close, you can’t just do it with one hand but maybe I screwed the arms on too tight i don’t know, but definitely not a deal breaker. Overall, I would definitely recommend this item.
