Review on Stylish And Functional Mango Coral Upholstered Ottoman Bench With Storage - Perfect For Living Room And Bedroom Decor! by Willie Carrera

Delivered yesterday and my wife is very satisfied. There are reviews with warnings about assembly. I was very wary and later reviews indicated that the problem may have been fixed. Let me put things straight. I had it completely assembled in one hour. The directions clearly state to make sure the bolts are not tightened until both leg bolts are into the frame threads. I struggled with getting the bolts lined up with the threaded holes but after a few tries I found that it was possible and it dawned on me that the manufacturer did not make a mistake but deliberately put the threaded receptacles where they had to go. You must get physically comfortable first and then put the lock-washer and washer onto the bolt. Put the leg into the corner slot made for the leg and wiggle the leg until you can see the threads of the receivers. Use a flashlight. Put one bolt through the pre-drilled hole and mate it to the threads in the frame. Only turn the bolt slightly until it has engaged the threads. Do not force it or you risk stripping the threads of the bolt. Continue to wiggle or manipulate the leg until you can insert the second bolt into the threads and then only turn the bolt a couple of times to insure it is actually engaging the threads. When you are satisfied that both bolts are engaging the threads then tighten the bolts alternating a few turns at a time. You will get the hang of it soon enough and when you are done all four legs will be securely attached without stripping the bolt threads. The final assembly will be strong and tight. If you do not feel up to it then do not order this item but if you follow this suggestion you will have a good, solid bench.
