We needed a way to store recycling on our small, covered front porch . This bench is the best solution! I put it together solo in about a half hour, but I'm sure someone with better hands could have done it faster. I put three 11x11 boxes inside to hold cans, bottles, paper. The bench looks nice and provides a seat to accompany our rocker. In terms of construction, all the holes were predrilled, even for the hinges (but it took me a few minutes to figure out where the holes were and how to attach hinges). The rest of the kit was easy to put together. The directions advise only putting screws in halfway until the bench is assemble (except for lid), and that's a good point. Things need to be loose so you can fit the back of the bench on. Then tighten everything up. The directions also note that if one of the large screws doesn't feel like its going in right, back it out and try again, being sure to keep the two pieces aligned. That was also helpful. All in all, a great buy. We won't be working this bench too hard, and its under cover.

It's easy to put toger it is very sturdy , looks great on my deck and very comfortable for a largr guy like me. very pleased with this item and will probably order a second once I get the rest of my yard sorted out.

The bench is very nice! The customer service was exemplary. I love the bench. I think about getting the second one.

I love the appearance and functionality of this product. It was well worth the price! Highly recommend!

I bought this bench two month ago, and I purposely waited to post this review until I had the opportunity to see how the bench would hold up.

This was easy to assemble, attractive, and sturdy. I keep it outside, by my front door. The seat lifts up.

This bench was easy to put together. I am 60 years old woman, put it together myself, I usually dread doing stuff like that but it was surprisingly simple. great storage and fits on my small front porch perfectly.

Perfect size for my condo balcony with ample storage space. Doubles as a dining bench and matches my patio tables and chairs.

it's a nice product - I put a cushion on the top so lifting the seat is no longer very easy but I'm able to store garden stuff in it and it looks very attractive outside.

Great Bench! Easy to assemble- sturdy and safe. Love the design with slats for a great look. Happy with my purchase!!
