I love this bench for my small mud room. The style resembles a higher priced one I had my eye on but so glad I found a much cheaper (in price not so much quality) option. The only negative I can think of is it doesn't sit right. There are some small gaps along the side and top of the lids but my boyfriend thinks he can adjust the screws and play around with the assembly in order to minimize the gaps. However for now the gaps are hidden by the decorative throw pillows. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.
