ClosetMaid 1570 Cubeicals 3-Cube Storage Bench, 14.01"D x 35.27"W x 18.5"H, Espresso

So easy and quick to put together! Very sturdy and fits normal folding cubes perfect.

So easy to assemble. Looks so good. My better half didn’t like in the entryway so my son put it in our guy cave (AKA his Lego room now) and it works great to hide Lego I’m not supposed to know they bought yet!Actually it is a nice pit stop shoe and coat changes, pre-event pep talks, checking email. The height is ideal for old and young alike.

This ClosetMaid bench is sturdy, and looks exactly like the photo. It is a good buy for the price. Great for an entryway, with storage for scarves, hats, gloves. I bought it because we are tired of tracking dirt in the house, and want to take off our shoes the minute we get home. My husband and I are average height and weigh around 180. Went I sit on it, the bench feels solid, no give, no movement, no creaking. The beige cushion is firm, and you can't feel the bench though it. It can be fastened to the bench top with the Velcro strips provided, but I elected not to. I didn't want the adhesive to strip the painted top, but it does slide a little. Instead, I will put a piece of rug cushion under it, the kind that keeps rugs from slipping.The instructions are exceptionally clear! As long as you don't jump ahead, and follow them step by step, they make perfect sense. Just make sure you have good light and can see whether they refer to dowels or screws in different holes. I love the cam nuts. One person could put this together, but it is easier with two. My friend and I did it in a relaxed forty minutes. You will need both a medium-large flathead and a phillips head screwdriver.Unfortunately, when I set up this bench, I saw that the corners on two pieces were cracked and frayed, corners that matched up with really bad damage the box had taken. The bench is still usable because damage on the side piece faces the wall, and I hid the damage on the top piece with the cushion. I am not very happy, but can't imagine how I would send it back. The box with parts inside was VERY heavy, and the box could no longer be used to re-ship because it had been shredded.Fortunately, the contents had not gotten wet. You do NOT want to put this bench outside, in a bathroom, in a basement or any other damp area because, like all things made of particle board, it will warp and eventually fall apart. But it's perfect for my enclosed front porch, which is dry all year.I also purchased beige cloth folding bins by Sodynee, which fit perfectly into the bench — they completely fill the storage spaces and look great with the beige cushion. (They also have nice sewn-on label holders.)

This is great for storage and I put it by the front window for the dogs to lay on it. They love it. Nice and sturdy.

This is the 3rd one I have. Latest one is in the Florida room and also serves as a bookcase. Easy to assemble even for me with a walker. Looks great!

I needed a relatively inexpensive storage option to accent the bookcases in my study. This bench, in espresso, was a perfect match and fit the space available. I was able to get the storage bench at a reduced price on Amazon and seized the opportunity. The bench is a better quality wood than most assemble yourself pieces of furniture. It assembles with interlocking metal tenons and some wooden dowels --- a flat blade and phillips head screwdriver are all that is required (there are 4 wood screws too). Everything was pre-drilled and precut and aligned perfectly. My only complaint is that the pieces are not marked so you have to match them up very carefully with the instructions. The instruction booklet is very good, but you do have to read them first, then identify the components, and re-read them again before starting. Working alone it took me about two hours to put together on a gloomy afternoon taking my time. The backing is the usual piece of cardboard that needs to be tacked into place, but again the holes are pre-started and perfectly aligned. I could have probably moved faster but deliberately took my time. I wouldn't say it was an easy assembly, but I had no problems and would not describe it as difficult. The finished product is very sturdy and it serves its purpose. There were a couple of small blemishes on the wood but they were in places not easily noticeable and were acceptable given the price. The included pad is a nice touch. It is thick and comfortable. I would buy this again and would recommend it to others.

The instructions are confusing, some of the holes are not lined up correctly, and some of the screws were defective and there were no extra ones. On top of that, the cushion is stained. I won't be ordering a replacement because I don't want to have to put another one together, but I wouldn't buy it again, and I don't recommend it to anyone. It's not worth the price; it should be cheaper.
