Review on πŸͺ‘ Navy Blue Jennifer Taylor Home Olivia Roll Arm Entryway Bench: A Perfect Blend of Style and Function by Lynn Warwick

Revainrating 4 out of 5

NOT a storage bench like the title says. Parts of the arms/legs are not 100% fixed

Looks very nice. Long thin cushions make the bench expensive, without them it looks less interesting. I gave one star for the wrong name saying this is a storage bench and another star for the arm/leg pieces that move so it looks like it will eventually fall apart. Read on if you think you can buy it: It arrived in a huge and heavy 5ft 6in x 2ft 4in 2 person box delivered by a regular porch trucker whose drivers don't believe that the door is knocking. or ringing a bell is recommended as it can slow them down. Since I didn't hear anything moving inside, I was able to carefully toss the box upside down off the porch and into the hallway with one hand. From there I was able to put it on its side to open it where I found the 2nd drawer inside. I was able to easily take out the parts wrapped in very thick sheets of the strongest bubble I have ever seen. Spare Parts? you ask. Yes. I didn't see any assembly required. We need to attach the end pieces to the bench with 4 huge screws on each side. I spread out a sheet and lay the bench on my back, then lay it on one side to rest my arm/leg on it and look underneath to screw it on. This is a large piece and can be unwieldy for shorter people, I'm a 5'10" female, 59, Revainian height, and it wasn't too bad. PROBLEMS: Before building I saw that (1) it has no shop and the title says shop;and (2) when I press on the top cushion of the seat (that's where the top and bottom cushions connect) there was a slight crunch.After assembly, I was able to sit down fully and that crunching sound sounds like there could be a layer of plastic under the fabric, on top of the foam. It stops crunching once sufficient pressure is applied to the area. Problem (3) occurred after assembly when I brought the bench into the bedroom .I had to flip them again Due to its length and the tight corners of my cabin shed I saw straight away that the side arms/legs are NOT 100% stable, they swing back and forth at the slightest provocation and with little pressure This makes it next to the Material to an object that small children and pets should not jump, climb and jump over.
