Good buy!
Nice! Great length and perfect for a low counter or regular dinning table. The cushion is thin but comfy. I built mine the opposite way so that I could display the storage and still have the bench facing the counter. It's also sturdy!

Major Dissapointment.
This package arrived damaged. The local Fed Ex in Geddess NY, then Syracuse, NY delayed the shipping for 5 days before delivering this mess. After carefully opening the box I noticed damage to the parts mainly in the corners. Unfortunately the damage can't be touched up or hidden. I am not accepting this delivery and if I am expected to do the workand return this myself repackaged I will not purchase anymore from Walmart for a solid year. 08-25-2023. I work hard for my money and I ask to be treated with respect by all parties involved with this purchase.

    Easy to assemble and nice storage space
    It was east to assemble and works well for our space. I ordered bins through Amazon to fit. The only thing is I am going to need to sew a different cover for the bench as I find it too bland ;)

    nightmare
    A nightmare. Came damaged and neither Walmart nor the delivery company appears willing to take responsibility for a reasonable return process. Effort spent on arranging return/replacement and repackaging, cost of materials and gas, and effort to resend will literally end up equaling or exceeding the cost of the item if hours are figured at minimum wage by the time this is all done. Walmart.com customer "service" is not just unhelpful, but argumentative (more than one did this), and refuses to allow customer to speak to more than one level of supervisor. Stone walls at every turn and both Walmart and the delivery company work in concert to make this awful.

    Not a good product for the price
    The pictures of it on the web site looked nice the color was also nice. But when it got delivered it had some damage to it. I was able to hide most of it but not all. The parts did not fit as well (the fasteners) and did not connect correctly. Very cheap partial board. I would have returned it but didn't have the time to get it done.

    Sturdy and easy to put together.
    I bought 2 in Espresso brown, they matched my kitchen cabinets perfectly. I used two in my kitchen nook to make a banquette look. They are sturdy and took me about 1hr 45min each to build. You will need help with the putting together of the two large portions with the dividers as it's like a puzzle and you have to pop both sides together. The bench pieces are heavy to hold up and do that on your own. Packaging was good, no damages to the product.

    buy them!
    I love this item! In fact, i bought 2 of them. the price and product are great. While these are not solid wood, the pieces are very thick and sturdy. It was also so easy to put together. If you are thinking of buying, do yourself a favor and just do it!

    Need for better quality control
    Put bench together- and then went to take cushion out of sealed package and noted to have multiple stains on the cushion. IT SHOULD BE CLEAN AND NEW!

    Really nice and functional piece of furniture
    We love this storage bench! We use it as a window seat and put pillows on top. It is great because it is a seat and storage all in one! There was one piece of damaged wood but it was an extra piece that wasn't even necessary for assembly of the bench... the wood is very sturdy and the cubbies are very large to fit lots of books or toys inside. The only issue I have is the cushion. It isn't very soft and I don't like that it's a light color. But we put a throw blanket and pillows over it so it's fine. The wooden part is so beautiful and it looks great! So happy we got it!

    Very well made!
    Very well made and sturdy. Easy to assemble and very good quality! I opted to keep the two dividers and backing off out to allow for a more open space below. Color purchased was rustic gray and it's a nice neutral gray tone with some brown. Really nice!

    Arrived with lots of damage!! Cheap material
    The box when it arrived was completely in tact but when I opened it, every piece had damage to it. So the damage occurred when packaging. The cushion it came with had a stain on it also. See pictures for examples. The material is flimsy and very cheaply made. Extremely poor quality for the cost.

    Very Impressed!
    I am an avid review reader and based on posted reviews saw that damage during shipping was the main problem. Based on our needs I decided it was worth ordering. I LOVE IT! There was no damage and it looks and feels solid. Assembly was not bad although the directions could be better. How long it takes to assemble depends on who your helper is....mine was a 5 mth old lab puppy.

    Very sturdy, some damaged pieces
    I think this bench was a great deal. The rustic gray is a great neutral color for a modern farmhouse look. The only issue was shipping. The box arrived with dents and one of the pieces had a big hole. I was about to return it until I realized that the piece with the hole was the bottom side and you couldn't really see it. Some of the corners were also dented/scratched but I decided to keep it rather than risk ordering another and having the same problem. The design of the laminate helps camouflage the imperfections a bit.

    I bought two of these for my classroom library. I was so excited, but wasn't happy it took more than an hour to put together. Also I noticed pieces of the wood are not finished and doesn't look like the product on website. First picture is what the product should look like, second picture is my finished product.

    Has pros and cons
    It arrived damaged in several places that could have been prevented with better supportive packaging. I didn't feel like going through trouble of returning and fortunately it was in areas mostly hidden. One of the panels looked like the veneer finish was defective and rippled. It took about 45minutes to put together and had a few more steps than anticipated. It is LARGE, heavy and appears very sturdy. All in all I think it is worth the price and pain to put together.

    Great piece
    I bought two for my classroom. Love them! So nice and durable! I think Ill need to replace the cushions after a year though. I love the deep storage openings. I bought cute 13x13 fabric bins and they look adorable.

    Better than I anticipated
    The bench is more heavy duty than I expected. We placed it in our garage for shoe storage with 13x13 size boxes. It took about 2 hours to put together and I did need a second person to help with the final step in order to lock the pieces in all the way. One thing I did see that I would nit-pick is that the connector nuts in the middle of the bench do not sit flush.

    Surprisingly satisfied
    The first one we received had lots of damage to almost every piece. I initiated a replacement through the Walmart app. The process was super easy and efficient. I got my replacement a day earlier than expected and they picked up my return at my house! The piece for my space and purpose perfectly!

    Great deal on a solid piece of furniture
    This is a great deal on a solid piece of furniture. I purchased the bench in white. It took me two hours to put together it together. I needed a hammer, flat head screw driver and a philips screw driver. The top and bottom pieces are large and heavy (30lbs each?), but I was able to maneuver them on a carpeted surface. I highly recommend it! Be sure to check your space with the length of the bench. It was longer than I expected.

    Negative Stars
    I knew that once I saw the condition of the box the probability of zero damages was highly unlikely. The color was not what I expected. I rate this experience and purchase with negative stars If I could. Lucky for me I can name the title that. Even worse I have to figure out how Im going to psychically return this - we can clean the slate if you pick it up.
