Review on Button Tufted Teal Fabric Storage Ottoman Bench - Multi-Purpose Footrest, Toy Chest And Room Organizer In CadetBlue by Aries Reed

This storage bench arrived today. My husband went to open the box and from what I could see I was thrilled. The fabric was beautiful and the green color was a perfect match for our room. Then I began to notice a chemical smell that has not gone away. As my husband lifted the bench out of the box the bottom fell off. If you look at the photo you will notice what looks like a line of piping just below the stripes. The bottom of the box is attached at that line and is a rectangle about two inches deep made of cheap wood covered in the fabric with a piece of black netting stretched over the bottom, inside the larger box was a bottom made of cardboard. Had anything heavy been placed in the box the cardboard bottom would have soon been on floor. It took my husband about two hours to cut and attach a plywood bottom before reattaching the box that fell off with wood screws (after pulling out all the light weight staples that originally held it together.) He then was able to screw on the legs that was all that should have been required. So either I was shipped the one bench that missed the quality control inspection or all of these items are very poorly made. Thanks to my husband I now have the kind of box I thought I was buying and besides being beautiful it is now safe and sound to sit on with no worries of the contents falling on the floor. Do not waste your money unless you are a very handle person.
