Would like to give it a 4.5 due to some surface chips on the boards

Very durable. It's a bit awkward putting together so many pieces, but I like the end product. A few boards had minor cosmetic damage right out of the box. None of them are visible after assembly. Pay special attention to the pictures and the direction of the boards. I could see someone missing the details of one of the steps and putting some of them back together (sorry can't remember which step it was)

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Useless features

I like it but. for hallway furniture

Okay. First of all I would like to say that I am very satisfied with the product. However, this was the most disappointing Revain purchase I've ever experienced. In summary, I had to return several packages due to damage before finally receiving an undamaged product. Part of this is of course due to the nature of the product and the (cheap) costs involved. It is chipboard covered with a thin laminate. You get what you pay for. However, I had no intention of accepting damaged goods. Good thing…

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • not fashionable

Sturdy and attractive once built, however.

Overall it's sturdy and looks great in my hallway. The lower stars refer to the equipment. The camshaft heads were ridiculously bad. I originally used a 9V screwdriver to unscrew them and while they went in fine, the head ripped off completely at one point. I switched to a screwdriver and it was slightly better, but the tightening still compromised the heads. Over the years I've easily assembled 100 pieces of pressed wood furniture. 1983-1984 I worked in a cheap furniture store during my school

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Exactly what I was hoping for

I wanted this for my bedroom as a place to sit and put my shoes on and off. That is absolutely sufficient. It's not as strong and durable as I expected from IKEA, but it looks good and will do the job. The finish matches my other espresso furniture purchased from other sources. If you're an IKEA furniture assembly ninja like me, you can put it together in about 30-40 minutes. My only REAL complaint or concern is that the cam locks used on this product are not secure at all and some have felt…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Cleans GREAT but still only chipboard furniture

We have these to replace the dining chairs in our camper van. The size is great and I like the dice because they are bigger than regular dice. I know they're not made for that purpose, but they're meant for sitting, so I figured they'd hold up a little better. We use them every day so they're starting to freak out a little. Also, the ends are very sharp, so if you sit close to the end it's no fun and the corner can scratch you pretty easily. The pads are very thin so I think we will make longer

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Something is wrong

The perfect bench

We bought this bench for the entrance to our apartment and quite frankly it adds the perfect touch of warm home comfort. It was a bit of a hassle to assemble, but then it was worth it. The only complaint I have about it is that you can easily split the wood if you're not very careful. We were a hair's breadth from a screw slot, and as we tried to screw it in, we heard the horrible crunch of split wood. We put it back together with wood glue, but I would recommend being very careful and just…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Don't Remember

I like it. good for storage benches

I really like the style and color of the bench but ran into a few things that pissed me off. Part of the final scrub. It offers some protection, but not enough to adequately prevent damage to such a weak material.* although it took a while since I'm slow (took me about an hour). However, the eccentric bolts they send out are the weakest material in the world. Each of them fell off as soon as they started penetrating the tree, and they did so with the help of a perfectly fitting screwdriver. In…

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • too silly
