Squared Away™ 3-Cube Storage Bench in Raven Black

I bought this bench and just finally tried to put it together. None of the parts align correctly, and it seems to be a 2 person job to hold pieces in place to align and screw it together. The directions are poorly written and literally I feel like mock you at one point, as it literally stated might need to refresh a drink! Trying to align the pieces ended up breaking the pieces of board. I had to just trash it in the end.

IF you can get the bench together, it looks great. It’s Sauder, which I stopped buying awhile ago because they always assume a man is going to be assembling this and not a single female. And I do not have manly strength to be pushing pieces of wood together u to where it locks in. I have to find someone else which is a huge hassle when I could have just bought an easier to assemble product. Sauder projects suck, they never have instructional videos, they never think about a female that might be assembling. I’m halfway done but stuck with two ends that won’t attach. What am I supposed to do. Been three hours of assembly and this is ridiculous. Save your money.

It’s good to see when kids organized their things. This storage bench did that😊. Now my kids keeping their study materials in this storage bench. Which makes me very happy. Assembly is also easy if will follow the instructions. First time I assembled alone. Only hammers and screw driver is needed . Quite sturdy bench. Cushion is bonus on the purchase 😊

Bought this to use as a small bookcase -hutch for my office - because it matched my floor; wife took it and placed it in the entry way (it's intended use) - was fairly easy to put together and I was able to do it in under an hour (I put things together often but am no way a professional) - looks nice and provides a place to take off shoes and store packages

I have always been very pleased with purchases from Bed Bath & Beyond. However, this bench was of very poor quality. The pre-drilled holes didn’t align in one area. The particle board section split when the screws were screwed in to the bottom. Overall, very poor quality. We ended up putting the whole thing in the garbage. Will not purchase from this maker again. We purchased the bench in black.

This is a beautiful piece but boy did I get what I paid for it!! Every screw thing snapped!!! Would like a full refund!

Assembly instructions better than most. Solid bench. Cushion surprisingly comfortable to sit for a spell.

It's easy to assemble and looks beautiful. The shipping was also very fast. Great purchase!
