FIRST HILL FHWDamara Wood Storage Ottoman Bench with Open Bottom and Faux-Leather Upholstery - Mocha Brown

Omg I love this bench! It’s way better than I expected. Also the storage part has more room than I thought which is great. I have a small apartment in NY so I’m always looking for things that have storage. I thought it would be small since it’s not a high bench and it’s just the top part of it, but it fit everything I wanted it to and more. I put a couple games, a couple throw blankets and a few other things and it fits it comfortably with some more room to spare. The whole bench looks neat and very elegant and gives the room a classy look.It came mostly assembled, just needed to screw the top into the bottom and then twist the legs on. getting the top in was a bit annoying since you had to go through the storage compartment and make sure everything lined up, but not too bad and definitely worth it. Didn’t take more than a half hour.My only complaint is that the bottom rack had a couple scrapes on it from packaging/travel. Nothing a little filler can’t fix and it’s not too noticeable.... I made sure to put that on the back side so it can’t even really be seen. But I would recommend better packaging and maybe a little bubble wrap around the end. I like that it does seem like real wood and not that manufactured wood garbage that falls apart over time. This piece seems like it will last and it is really good quality.

Easy assembly and looks great. Fits perfectly into our home gym. Holds shoes, weights, miscellaneous items. Very tidy.

This bench is well made. Very comfortable to sit on, while putting on shoes or taking them off. Love the shelf underneath to store shoes on. Nice little storage compartment under the seat. Only complaint is it is hard to finish putting it together as there isn't enough space to get a wench into for the final nuts being put on. Got it done but it was a very slow process. Excellent dark wood color. Sits at the end of the bed.

The materials on this item's page say wood and leather but it is actually upholstered with faux leather. Not surprised at the price point and we're not returning it, but it's misleading

I'm using this bench as a place to sit and put on/take off/store shoes in my entryway. It is nice and large and looks great in the space. It's also very comfortable and easy to clean, so far.A lot of older reviews talk about how difficult it is to put together and how some pieces are missing, but I didn't have that issue at all. I think that, since those reviews were posted, the seller probably fixed a lot of those issues and started shipping it more put-together.Mine came as just the top section already assembled along with the bottom shelf and the 4 legs to assemble with 8 screws with washers and an Allen wrench to screw them in with.Literally my only complaint is that it was a little annoying to screw in the screws inside the inner compartment to attach the top section to the legs. They're just kind of awkward to screw in with the provided Allen wrench. If you use something longer, maybe with a drill, it'd probably be a lot easier. Now that it just took me a few minutes to do that, it looks awesome.

Looks great and according to my husband it was easy to assemble.

Very Nice

We are using in our RV and love the color, sturdiness and comfort!!!. We store it on our bed for travel so it’s not too heavy, yet it’s heavy enough not to slide around with travel. The storage compartment is great. Stores our throw blankets with no problem. Shipped quickly and we had all the parts in the box on its arrival,. Love the color, dark expresso (brown) is color I would give it. Very pleased with purchase and would recommend to anyone looking for ottoman.

pretty easy to assemble, comfortable for sitting, storage is great, and it looks excellent.

Its perfect size, quality is good and like the lower storage. Keeps my home entrance organized. Assembly was little tough to attach bench to the four legs as holes are in extreme corner n was tough to use L key in corner.Overall great value for the price.

This is a beautiful piece. It is expensive but it is definitely worth the price. It is very sturdy, even with daily use. It is nicer than the pictures. It was very easy to assemble too. Really nice piece.

Sturdy, easily put together and lots of storage space. It’s a banging good time

Beautiful. Nice color. Sturdy, Good Quality, Easy Assembly, Love it
