This is a nice storage bench.  The size is perfect for our living room and we love the color.  However, this piece was hard to put together.  You definitely need two people.  The instructions and diagrams are somewhat confusing.  There are so many screws that we need to put on with a Phillips-head screwdriver, my husband & I got so tired towards the final steps.  He broke out his drill and IT HELPED A LOT!  Should have thought of that sooner.  There were several "pre-drilled" holes that weren't there so we had to guess the correct spot to put the screws.

All and all this is a nice quality bench for the price.  It "upgraded" the look of our living room :)  Though, I have to say putting it together is a b**ch (excuse my language).
