Nice but be careful

This is a nice looking bench. I've only had it for a week and it feels solid and sturdy. Only thing is that when hammering in the "support thingees" underneath the bottom--you have to be really carefull and not go too far. I suggest about a 1/4 (the manual say 1/2) or else you'll end up breaking through the top and cracking it leaving an ugly mound. This happened to me. I ended having to hammer the mound down and coloring the crack with the brown marker provided. You can't hardly tell it was even there unless you actually get down and look at it. Otherwise you wouldn't even know it was there. (It still bugs me though knowing that it's there and not perfect.) Overall this is a nice bench. We'll see how it holds up.More detail ...

AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What you see is definitely what you get. The inside is a soft velvet like material.( this is an added bonus) It opens and shuts without a problem. Usually you look at something in a magazine or on line and you order it and it arrives and you are totally dissapointed. I am so delighted with my purchase and I will continue to purchase products from you. Thank You So Much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazon You Rock!!!!More detail ...

As expected

This product was what I expected. It's not fancy lots of veneers and the set-up ended with one of the dowels breaking off. However I've glued what I could to make it sturdy. It looks fine and what I expected. I'm happy with the purchase for the price. It looks just as it does in the picture color too.More detail ...

+ simple; + sturdy; + well-sized spaces

We needed an entryway bench and I was thrilled to find this simple unobtrusive one on Amazon for such a reasonable price. We don't really have an entry hallway but this bench fits neatly behind our large L-shaped sofa giving us a place to take off our shoes and store bags & gear for the day.



INSTALLATION: The pieces were well packed with some heavy duty foam around the edges to protect during shipping. The instructions were diagram only and could have been a little more detailed in sections but not that bad overall. It came with some interesting nuts & bolts that made it a breeze to put together solidly. I'm a petite woman and while juggling a baby it took me less than forty minutes to set up.



USE: I have the black one and it shows dust and cat hair pretty easily but also wipes down quickly to clean. The cubby holes are a decent size big enough to hold a small backpack or two pairs of shoes side by side. The whole feel is pretty sturdy and I'd buy this brand Prepac again in the future.More detail ...

A Rare Returned Item

This seemed such a great buy but when it arrived I was disappointed in what seemed to be the flimsy and poor quality catch. I rarely return anything but knew I would not be comfortable wearing this -- it just looked cheap -- and did return it.More detail ...
