Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
The classic, comfortable design of this storage bench by Global Distinctions gives it an enduring appeal that's sure to be enjoyed for many years--no matter how the décor around it may change.

Nicely sized to serve as either extra seating or an ottoman, the bench features a thick padded top and deep, soft-cornered sides covered in supple faux leather. Cross-stitching adds a bit of tailoring, and a subtle sheen is invitingly rich next to the dark hardwood legs below.

The hinged lid opens to a roomy storage space for anything from blankets to toys to magazines. The bench measures 34 inches wide by 16 inches deep by 18-1/2 inches high. Available in brown and black. --Kara Karll

Nice Size, Cute & Functional
OK...
After looking both on-line and locally, at both faux and real leather, as well as microfiber, I decided to purchase the brown version.

1) Measurements:
Exterior measurements: Approx. 18"-height by 34"-length by 15"-width
...a good height for sitting to put shoes on or rest one's feet.
Interior storage measurements:8"-deep by 30.5"-length by 13"-width
...enough to fit several pairs of shoes, or linens, or magazines etc.

2) Material/workmanship/color:
I found the faux leather quality to be decent; the color was a very dark brown [I compared it to my black leather shoes, and it is brown...just very dark...which might explain some other comments questioning the color...I like the dark tone].

The workmanship appears good: the hinges are assisted by helping brackets...and I did not find the mild scent [inside or out] objectionable. The legs need to be attached [easy: 2 screws per leg] and appear to be made of solid hardwood. The top provides a firm, pliable support for sitting.

Only two caveats:
a) opening the top requires the ottoman to be pulled away from whatever it is against by a few inches...just in case that might be important to some customers.
b) Amazon shipped this via "FedX Home Delivery"...which was very fast [overnight, even on a weekend] but they left my order out in the rain without any cover, allowing it to be soaked by a heavy rain. Amazon's very good customer service gladly replaced it. If you can specify another shipper that is more attentive, you might avoid unnecessary damage and inconvenience.

I am very happy with my new ottoman and recommend it.

it was fast shipping...
it was fast shipping and was well made without a mark. they sent me the wrong color though.

Storage Bench
I use this in our front hall for storage of winter items such as gloves, scarves, hats and for sitting on when taking off shoes or boots. It seems to be a sturdy item and oh so handy to have stuff in one place.
It is the right height, width and length for our use. 18 1/2", 13", 33".
