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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

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

Looks lovely. 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 that bad. PROBLEMS: Before building I saw that (1) there wasn't a has loading and the title says loading;and (2) when i press on the seat's top cushion (that's where the top and bottom cushions connect) there was a slight crunch Noise sounds like there could be a layer of plastic underneath the fabric, on top of the foam It stops crunching once enough pressure is applied to the area Problem (3) occurred after assembly when I brought the bench into the bedroom. I had to turn them over again Due to its length and tight corners of my plank, I immediately saw 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 fabric f to an object that small children and pets should not jump, climb and jump over.
