Ottimo! Solido e capiente

Update: I didn’t initially bother to contact the company about the issue because I’ve had enough experiences with unhelpful customer service departments that I didn’t want to waste the energy, especially since the bench was already assembled. But after posting my initial review, the company reached out to me about the issues I experienced and they didn’t hesitate to make it right. I genuinely appreciate the proactive and thoughtful customer service which is really difficult to find anymore. Because of their quick response and willingness to address the problem without hassle, I am raising my rating. ------------- This storage bench is genuinely beautiful once it’s assembled. The design is lovely, it’s nice and heavy, and it feels very sturdy once together. It fits perfectly at the end of my queen bed and the safety hinge is great for allowing it to stay open by itself without slamming down. It also easily fits all of my long boots (9 pair) and a couple of combat boot pairs along with a big basket of boot socks, which is exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, mine arrived with issues that really took away from an otherwise great piece. One of the sides was cracked almost all the way down and the corner was chipped, which completely broke apart under further examination when handled. I had pulled out all the pieces before assembling to make sure everything was there, but the crack and the broken particle board were on the underside so I didn’t catch the damage until I had everything halfway put together. I really wish I had been more thorough in examining and turning each piece all the way around first, lesson learned. Once I found that damage, the idea of going through the hassle of undoing the assembly up to that point and repacking it wasn’t appealing. I ended up repairing it myself with wood glue and sawdust in the crack, then clamped the broken corner with vice grips while it dried. I positioned that side against the back so the damage isn’t visible from the front and it all assembled fine, but it was still very disappointing for a piece I otherwise really like. I suspect this one may have been a return. The small packet of screws for the hinges and the little padding dots for the lid were missing when I initially did inventory but I wasn't too worried because I had suitable replacement screws on hand and just figured they forgot to pack that little packet in the box. But once I noticed the damage on the wood piece, I looked more closely and there were also faint scratches on the hinges where it looked like screws had been inserted once already. Overall, the bench is beautiful and sturdy, but the condition mine arrived in was not what I expected. If yours comes undamaged and with all the hardware, I think you’ll love it. I just wish I’d received one in new condition as I purchased it.

Absolutely love this. We are using it in the playroom and it holds so much and looks so cute. It was easy to put together and is very durable.

Could be more sturdy but works for what I needed and matches the aesthetic
