American Furniture Classics Entryway Gun Conceakment Storage Bench

Pros Nice looking, more than sturdy enough for 2 adults to sit when closed. Con The instructions could be a bit more clear.

The Cons: Maybe I got a customer return (it looked like the hardware packet had been opened and resealed), but most parts were not labeled. They're supposed to have a sticker labelling them (like "Part A"). When there was a sticker, it was wrong. (They would put "Part B" on what was actually part A. This made assembling very difficult. I had to guess and when I guessed wrong, I didn't know until the end, so I had to take it all apart and redo it. I had a lot of hardware left over so I'm not sure I put all the screws in during the second time I had to assemble it. They also had an extra back panel in the box. That's a major part. How did that even happen? It doesn't do well with guns with large vertical foregrips, attachments, big weapon lights out to the side, big bipods sticking out, and things like that. I was assembling it by myself so I had to scoot it on a tile floor a little to assemble and I broke off the little plastic footpad on one of the legs before I even got it all installed. It's not solid hardwood, so it got a little dented and dinged just during install (or maybe it came that way out of the box.) Nothing major. The Pros: It's a nice bench. It's solid. It looks good. It will function fine as a bench and storage. Summary: Overall because it worked out fine, I'll give it 5 stars, but I could also give it 1 star just because the assembly was such a pain. I'm not sure why they didn't put stickers labelling the parts.
