When shopping for a entryway bench, my wife and I required something that fit the theme of our living room and had built in storage. When we came across this Lexicon Linen Top lift bench, we were hesitant to buy a product with no previous reviews but we liked the aesthetics and of the piece. It's worth noting that the storage is actually a lift top--the three panels in the front are for cosmetics only. We actually preferred this since that meant we were able to fit larger items in here which is great!The bench itself arrived later than expected but still within 4 days of ordering it. The best part of this bench is that we didn't have to assemble it as it was pre-built. Once we took the bench out, we did noticed how short it was and questioned the height. Then we then realized we were missing the legs and needed to screw them on, which was extremely easy. Once that was complete the bench was the perfect sitting height! I did not expect how durable the quality of this bench is. Built very sturdy, and feels like it could last a lifetime. I may consider getting more furniture from this brand in the future.Currently this bench lives right next to our living room door. We were able to store our larger living room blankets and cushions in here when not in use. Overall, we've been quite happy with our purchase. So far this is my new favorite piece of storage in the living room since I hate having blankets scattered around but it also serves as extra seating in our living space.
