Homestyles General Line Hardwood Hall Tree with Lift-Up Storage Seat in Black

Although I did not do any of the assembly... I just watched LOL... this didn't seem too difficult to assemble.

Love the material, the size, it's a nice piece

I recieved the item fairly fast. My sister and I laid it out on the floor and it took us almost 2 hrs to place together. I am not totally happy as there was a chunk of wood that had broken off during manufacturing(curved wing part on seat) and they put some off color putty in to fill part of the void. Looks bad and poorly done, this piece should have been replaced before shipping. Two of the wooden caps/plugs for the bolt holes were missing so I have two without. The inside bottom part of the seat box just sits loose inside and is about 1/4"" to small on all sides, works but does not fit. The pieces on the back upright are off a little so they do not sit tight and creat a gap between them. With all considered, it does look O.K. and too big of a hassel to send back now that it is together. The lack of quality control needs to be corrected/addressed when manufactured of which made this item disapointing for us overall.

The photograph of this hall tree bench makes the unit appear larger and taller than it actually is. I was quite surprised at the actual size of the unit. Quality of materials were average and some of the seams did not line up, leaving slight cracks between the wood boards. It is not as ""rich"" in person as it appears in the photograph. In person, it looks similar to furniture one can purchase at [@] or any other discount put-it-together furniture stores.

Fits in well with my Key West cottage decor. Hooks are fabulous as a handy place for dogs' leashes and a jacket. I was surprised at the quality of the hall tree and very pleased with the assembly instructions, etc.
