Ameriwood Home Penelope Entryway Storage Bench with Cushion, Espresso 17.68 in. high x 35.91 in. wide x 15.75 in. deep

Great bench, not as difficult to put together as some other reviews say. No need for electric tools, but I would recommend when you get to the step when putting together the wall between each cubby and the left/right side pieces to not screw anything in! Get it all perfectly aligned and placed in correctly first because even when I thoughtI made sure that all my pieces were facing the right way, one was misoriented and messed up the alignment and I had to unscrew everything. If it is crooked or seems misaligned, that is the first sign that one of the pieces might be oriented wrong. There's different hole sizes so you can tell which screws go where and the directions are pretty clear for the most part.Nice sized bench big enough for two people to sit on closely together. Wood does feel cheap however, like it would be scratched easily, but looks nice. Cushion isn't the comfiest either. Overall happy with my purchase and would recommend for someone who doesn't want to break their wallet.

Goes great next to my Ikea shoe storage! I built this myself in about 20 min. It is sturdy I am presently plump and feel comfortable sitting on it.

I really like the style and color of the bench, but encountered a few things that miffed me.* STATE ON ARRIVAL: It arrived with tons of little damages, mostly scrapes along the edges and some of the finish peeling. It comes packed with some protection, but not enough to adequately prevent damage on such weak material.* ASSEMBLY: The instructions were 90% clear (make sure you look ahead to the next page before attaching part G to part A), and assembly was easy, though it did take a little while since I'm slow (took about an hour). The cam screws they send are the weakest material in the world though. Every single one of them stripped out as soon as it started going into the wood, and that's using an exact perfect fit screwdriver. Unlike a lot of the furniture I've ordered lately, the holes actually lined up, so that was nice. It came with exactly all the screws and pieces needed, no extras, so don't break or lose one during assembly. It did not come with a phillips head screwdriver, which is the only tool you need to assemble it.* QUALITY: Most of the bench appears to be particle board, but the backing is a cardboard cutout. This is not mentioned anywhere in the description. Photo attached. All visible parts of the bench are finished, except the edges of the cardboard backing. Since it's particle board held together by a few screws, don't let any fat people sit on it nor kids jump on it. Sit gently or it will fall apart. Also, you can't see it in the ad photos, but it has 4 rubber feet on the bottom to help protect your wood floors, which is nice.* COLOR: The espresso color is accurate and matches all my other espresso furniture and items.* MISC.: The cushion comes with two velcro strips on the bottom side, with a sticky velcro strip attached to it that you can peel and attach to the seat of the bench to hold the cushion in place. The cushion appears white in the ad, but it's slightly off-white. Not very noticeable though.Overall I like the bench and will keep it. I'd probably even buy another. Just beware of omitted details like the cardboard backing, cheap materials (camscrews), and poor packing.

We got this for my daughter’s room because she loves to read. We needed a little more space for her books and I love the added functionality of the bench. It’s cute and practical. It really gives her a nice reading nook. We are terrible at putting things together but this was pretty straight forward to build. I highly recommend.

The bench was exactly what I was needing and looking for to put in our front entryway by the front door. I like our shoes to be organized and this bench does the trick. Keeps everything neat and tidy and the bench is a bonus seat to use while putting on your shoes and dropping our purses down coming inside the house. The instructions for putting the bench together were mostly looking at the picture, but my husband found it easy to assemble.

This is a sturdy, nicely sized bench - it's not huge, but to have something in my mud-room that allows me to sit comfortably to put on or take of shoes has really made it more pleasant to get out in the mornings! The color and style are also very "modern", so it has really classed-up my mud-room and allowed me to remove a wire shoe-rack that I'd had in there for years! Also, I exceed its weight capacity (of 240 lbs or so) and yet it feels sturdy and safe to use.

Overall it's sturdy and looks great in my mudroom. The lower stars is about the hardware. The heads on the cam bolts was ridiculously poor. I was using a 9v power screwdriver initially to out these in and while they went in fine, the head was totally shredded once in. I switched to a screwdriver and that was marginally better, but still, tightening down put the heads in peril. Over the years, I've easily put together 100 pieces of pressed wood furniture. In 1983-4 I worked for a low end furniture store while in highschool. I can't think of a time when I saw cheaper hardware to out a piece of furniture together. That said, it went together ok and is sturdy and looks good. But beware and be careful. One mistake in interpreting the no-text instructions and you could be in for trouble.

Had a hard time putting it together so it’s not idiot proof but eventually got it installed. Cushion is an off-white color and isn’t very comfortable but it does the job. Seems sturdy. Bins are smaller than an average storage organizer. True expresso color, not black like the picture.

This bench arrived fairly quickly. It did take some effort to put together, and it didn't come with it's own tools - I needed to use my own screwdriver. But I haven't had any problems with it since I've put it together. It's a nice, sturdy storage bench.

It looks nice and the quality is good as well. Instructions are clear making it easy to assemble.

AMAZING quality for the price. Would highly recommend but I’m hoping to find a new cushion for it, one that’s a bit more comfier with some colour and hoping I won’t have too much trouble finding right baskets for it but over all I love it !!!!

Quality is not the best but looks pretty good.

I wish it came with some storage bins or options of cushion cover coloura but very sturdy and looks nice!
