I love this bench! The red really pops against my gray walls and white kitchen. I needed it for my back door because I store dog towels and dog paraphernalia from jackets to leashes so it’s very handy to have the fliptop storage. 

The studs along the bottom are a nice decorating detail. There was no major assembly. I just had to screw on the feet. I love this bench! It’s a little shorter than my old one, which I wasn’t aware of because I didn’t look at the measurements before buying. However, it is definitely eye catching, sturdy, and does the job!
