So beautiful for the price!!! Hire a pro to assemble! lol
So I read all of the reviews prior to buying this and I do agree that this was difficult to assemble and came in a zillion pieces...BUT this is AMAZING for the price. It looks like a quality piece, its not made out of cheap board and I love it. What I will say is that the bench top does not open all the way, it opens 2/3 of the way which is fine. Im not sure how sturdy the hooks are, but in all fairness, kids come home with backpacks 50lbs or more and I dont think any hook will hold. These hooks are for coats and sweaters not 100 lb book bags. Mine is primarily decorative, but we will use the bench storage to store shoes and the hooks for coats. I love it. I hired a professional to assemble this since it was so inexpensive and I do not regret that decision. This is not bright white, it is an off white...but it can be painted if its not bright enough to match your trim. I dont regret buying this and Id do it again!
