Better Homes & Gardens 3-Cube Shoe Storage 44.65" Bench, Weathered

Yes, like others have said, there was some MINOR damage upon unpacking, but it was all invisible once the bench was assembled. I purchased this bench for the end of my bed. While it provides additional storage, the main reason for the purchase was to help my tiny dog get up on the bed once I upgraded to a much taller mattress. I'd tried dog stairs without success; they terrified her. She took to the bench immediately and gleefully practiced ZOOMING on and off the bed. I always like to see reviews highlighting the pros and cons, so I've listed mine below: PROS: Easy to assemble. I'm a 61-year-old woman who is not remotely handy and I assembled in just over an hour. The connector pieces (screws, nails, cam-locks) are individually packaged, which eliminates all confusion. All the holes lined up accurately. The bench feels sturdy once assembled. The cushion is a nice neutral color and the cover zips off for easy cleaning. CONS: I purchased the "Mahogany" color. Worked great for me because I was looking for a red cherry, which is what the color actually mimics. I believe Mahogany is actually much darker, so be aware. This is just pressed particle board with a wood-look laminate. On the plus side, more substantial wood would have made this piece WAY too heavy for me to handle. MISC: I read mixed reviews of the "feet." I left them off. You will need standard tools - a hammer, flat head and Philip's head screw-driver. I purchased a set of four inexpensive 13" x 13" fabric bins which match really well - and I have one left over! I also purchased Velcro strips to keep the cushion very stationary, knowing my dog would be leaping onto it. This was PERFECT for my needs. I could not be happier with this purchase. I hope it lasts a long time. I would definitely purchase again and I highly recommend.

I ordered this bench for a duo purpose. To have additional space to place my holiday decorations, as well as, add extra seating in our living room. I also wanted to provide some filler space for the wall under our mirror. This adorable bench did just the trick! :) It matches our mirror perfectly. And it's made very well. Very solid. The cushion is not flimsy either. It's nice and firm, which means that it will probably last for a long time. No cheap fabric used either. My husband put it together for me in less than an hour w/o any issues whatsoever. I'm so very pleased with this purchase! You can't beat the price for what you get!

This is amazing! I see no valid reasoning for any negative reviews. I am honestly usually a picky person and harsh judge. But this bench is great. I purchased this for a window seat for my dogs. As well as storage for their toys and blankets underneath. They constantly wanna sit by the window and watch cars/people go by, so this was great. They love it! And the 300 lb weight capacity allows me to sit on it as well with them. The price seemed high at first, but now that I have received it and used it, the price is worth it to me. You would pay much more anywhere else for a less quality product. Highly recommend!

This bench is exactly as advertised. It's strong enough to sit on (rated for 300 lbs) and has handy cubicles for storage. It's perfect in our remodeled bathroom to hold towels at the ready. It took about an hour to assemble (I was sore and slow that day.) Others have reported the item arriving damaged; mine was fine. There are two minor glitches: the cushion had long snagged thread on it. I just flipped the cushion over and will use the other side. Also they provide little white caps to cover the holes holding the cam locks. Two of the caps simply fell out, they were two small (or the holes were too big) by a mere millimeter. I used rubber cement to hold them in place; that worked. This same Better Homes and Gardens cubicle bench is sold by many websites. Most charge more and they all have lousy return policies. I got this from Walmart becuase I could return it to a store if I hit a problem.

I was looking for a bench/shoe rack to put at our door way and this product fit the size of the area that we have. This is cheaper compared to what I have seen on other websites. Only thing that I really didnt like that much is the cubby, I was hoping that id find something more of a two tier shoe rack though this looks very sturdy. I like that they have many options for color and that this finish matched our stair railings. I would recommend this product.

Very study seating. Can be used in any areas of your home such as entryway, dining area, I etc. I bought several pieces of the BHG rustic gray and created a really serene living area. The bench is used for quiet time and gazing out the windows while thinking. The only reason it is rated at a 4 is because of the seat cushion. Very nice cover with cord edging; however, the cushion is very thin and will not last long over time. Here is a picture.

I bought 3! The benches are great, the assembler - not so great (thats me!) I put each of them together by myself. The first one, I didnt screw the tops in properly. The second one, I put the middle slats in with rough side out, but the 3rd one was perfect! Ha! Great buy! Using one in our master closet to hold shoes and a place to sit while we put on shoes. The other 2 our in our mudroom closet, and holds shoes, balls, etc.

Love it! Exactly what I wanted! Just need to buy the cubbies to go inside and it will be complete! Easy enough assembly! Fast shipping! Great product.!

Decent piece, easy assembly but is not the best quality. What I expected at this price point Looks nice and is sturdy. Multiple parts arrived damage, did not affect assembly but still a bummer.

This bench is wonderfully made, solid and sturdy. it fits perfectly in my entry way. I added 3 fabtic cubes for my shoes and gloves. It's perfect for my needs. I am a 64 old female and i assebled it myself. I couldn't live without it!!
