Great bench. Beautiful and high quality. The hinges at the back make the arms a little hard to screw on but otherwise easy to put togetherI searched to find the perfect bench, and this is even better than any thing I could have designed myself. It is great for storage and is just the right height and width for my queen bed. It is comfortable ,yet sturdy enough to sit and watch the news in the morning or late night news before climbing into bed. My old man weighs in at over 200 and finds it well made as well. My dog loves it too.We were looking for a bench for the foot of our king sized bed, not necessarily one with storage. Most we saw looked flimsy (weight of items far less than this one). We aren't disappointed. This is a solid, well made bench with a dense cushioned top in a nice blue fabric. I would not call it navy, which I consider to be a darker blue, but it's a pretty color. Very happy with the price and quality.I like the lounger but upset because it was missing a threaded insert to attach the leg so I have 3 outta 4 legs assembled I received a repair stipend from manufacturer in lieu of sending in back to manufacturerMinimal assembly needed which was great because I was doing it alone. Made a reading nook for my young niece and nephews in the closet of my guest room. They're obsessed with it! Sturdy enough to handle how active they are, looks great. Fits perfectly in my available space.This ended up being the perfect slim size for a space we needed to fill in our living room. We have an older house, and this bench has a more formal style than a lot of others we'd looked at. Easy to put together with a good amount of storage space. Truth be told, we don't really use it to sit on, but it does feel sturdy and substantial.Perfect storage and seating solutionThis modern bench is beautiful as well as functional as it has storage in the bench. Great value!
