Design Flaws
E. Manning

I just bought this bench for my entry hall, planning to use the baskets for my kids' shoes. I built it today, so have absolutely nothing to say about longevity, but I already have gripes.Pros: It's gorgeous, and carefully packaged. The parts fit together pretty well.Cons: Cheap hardware, self-abusive design, and low-rent execution.Before I start, I gotta say the packaging was offensive. They foam-molded the whole box, so it doesn't recycle. And you have to know to open the top left corner, or you get Styrofoam dust all over the place. Would an "open here" stamp really cost too much?As to the bench itself:1) The stud & cam assembly of this thing is pretty poor. The studs have to get screwed in, assembled, disassembled, adjusted, reassembled, then the cams applied. If you don't make that second adjustment, then the studs often sit too low, and I sheared 2 of the cams trying to tighten those. IMHO, no piece of furniture hardware should shear upon my one-handed turn of a screwdriver. CHEAP hardware.2) The aforementioned cheap hardware shipped with exactly the right number of pieces. Every other piece of furniture I've bought disassembled has shipped with at least 1 or 2 extra sets of hardware. Thankfully, Ace Hardware now carries these cams.3) There are very few supports under the base, it sits on four feet. So when I sit my fat butt on it, it bows down in the middle.4) The pillows ("cushions") shipped with this item have removable covers (which is good), but the zippers on these pillows are on the bottoms, so the metal has plenty of opportunity to scratch the paint. This happened under the first butt to touch my new bench.Read more ›

DON'T BUY!!!
Beach Lover

I read all the reviews and thought great this bench looks great is cheaper than others and has good reviews. I WAS SOOOO WRONG!! First I bought it and when I got it the box was in excellent condition but the pieces inside were broken, chipped and split. I called Coaster and they said there was nothing they could do about it. So I exchanged it for the same thing thinking ok just got a bad item. Second one came in a terrible looking box. It was patched and had holes. Inside the same pieces were broken, chipped and split. It is not well made the paint is pitted and thin. It is flimsy feeling and made out of particle board. The cushions are also thin and had scratched the paint even in shipping. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME! DON'T BUY THIS!

Much smaller than looks

Although I like the bench, it's much smaller than it looks in the picture. The pillows especially! They don't even cover the entire bench. I like the item, but feel I paid too much for what I got.

what you pay for

The bench was fairly easy to put together and does look nice but it is clearly very cheaply made. Before assembling we had to buy some extra brackets to reinforce the base which was basically just particle board stapled to other pieces of particle board and had already started pulling apart. Based on other reviews I bought my own hardware to avoid the breaking problem and that worked well. The 3 pillows that come with it are a little to small and slide around, so like other reviewers, I also replaced them with a single foam cushion. The baskets are pretty chintzy and I will probably cover them in fabric or replace with nicer baskets eventually. Ultimately you are getting what you pay for here.

Great looking bench!!

I received this bench very quickly! It was easy to put together and quality made. The only 2 things that I didn't care for was that the baskets that come with the bench scratch the bottom of the bench making scratches. Also, the pillows that came with the bench are nice but the buttons came off by just sitting on them. I contacted the company and they quickly sent me new ones. Great customer service!! Overall I love the look of the bench and the quality of it as well. Great product for the price!!

More "do it yourself" than expected.

Now that the bench is complete it looks good and works well. However, the instructions were poor (pictures but no written explanation), some of the attachment components are flimsy (they break if too much pressure exerted) and some of the screw holes were missing so we had to drill them. Also the cushion buttons were not securely held in place and became detached very easily. My wife had to re-sew all of them.

Great bench minus the cushions
Connie

This bench is great in my kitchen. It's quite similar to the one from Pottery barn but not so overpriced, especially since it comes with the baskets and cushions. The only thing I could've done without are the cushions. Nice to have cushions, but these are pretty lame... I ended up making my own single cushion the length of the bench, using my own color scheme. The structure and sturdiness of the bench are great. The instructions were a little sketchy for details, but you should be able to figure it out! Took no time at all to put together. Love the baskets for hats and gloves or footballs and frisbees. Very happy!

Broken When Delivered
Todd Lewis

Dont buy from this merchant. Our item came broken twice. When we wanted our money back, we were told we had to find a charity, bring it to the charity and donate it in Furniture Creations name. Nothing was our fault but we had to clean up the mess. The main problem being, the furniture was broken and unable to be assembled. We sent pictures to them and everything. They still would not help us unless we got a donated charity slip. Amazon has been wonderful to deal with. I am so glad we ordered through Amazon because if we went through Furniture Creations I don't know what would happen. Please be careful with this merchant and I wouldn't buy a craft stick from them in the future.
