Continually impressed by the quality of the items I receive from Wayfair given the price I pay! This bench came 98 percent assembled, all you had to do was screw on the feet. Actual mechanics of the flip top are solid. Perfect height to sit and put your shoes on. Sturdy enough to be used as a launchpad for the 50lb dog lol. Plenty of storage room, I have 2 blankets stacked on top of each other in the picture. Could hold sheets, blankets, sweaters, you name it! I love the fabric and the style is exactly what I was looking for. 100 recommend!
