Customer Reviews for SAFAVIEH Benjamin Rustic Black Entryway Bench

I love the bench! It exceeded my expectations. I recommend the bench to others. Not only is it pretty, it is easy to assemble, good quality, and has a maximum weight limit of 500 lbs!!

Knew I had to get it for my kitchen bay window. Love it, very satisfied.

The plugs for the side holes are too big and don’t fit. Not finished looking. Disappointing.

Is made so cheap and after a month is already chipping!! Bad quality Don’t buy

Very nice. I was looking for an indoor bench that had the look of a decent piece of furniture and for the price, this was as close as I was going to get. I picked the dark teak color and was pleased that I did since it is similar to a mahogany color. Relatively easy for 1 person to put together.

Nice and sturdy

This is a very nice piece and sturdy. We purchased this piece as seating for bathroom and it looks great.

Love this bench! I wish it was a little heavier, but it looks perfect. Super easy to assemble.

this was a big disappointment! It had dowels that were coming out even before I attempted to put together, Too risky I would be afraid to sit on it. HomeDepot had the best price on the item delivery was great the they came and picked it up at my door for the return.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

This bench has a lovely design and warm finish that gives it a cottage charm I love. The size renders it versatile enough to be used in many areas of the home. I deducted a star for the flaws/irregularities in the finish. There are some cracks, areas of rough wood where perhaps it was not sanded enough. The overall look of the bench is somewhat rustic though, so these areas are not obvious at first glance. Overall, I would say it was a good buy for the purchase price and a really quaint little bench.

I love my new bench! My friends have been very complimentary when they see it. I was concerned it would be difficult to put together, but it was a breeze! Very happy with the bench and the cost.

It looks just like the picture, very sturdy as well.

Cute decorative bench. The 'wood' is plastic like composite and the overall structure wasn't made super well (one of the holes for the screw was larger than needed so the screw doesn't tighten in it). For the price point though- this was a good buy.

This bench in distressed black is an up to date piece of furniture that I hope to enjoy for years to come. It is a rich and stylish. It is a perfect addition to the guest room and blends in well with the decor. It is nice to offer guests their own place to sit in comfort. I love the easy assembly and the attractive finish on this bench. This will work well in an entry, a living room or a bedroom.

I love the look of this bench with some areas distressed. It has stylish lines and is a nice size to tuck into a smaller area where you need additional seating. I gave it four instead of five stars because of the trouble of assembling it. (took about an hour and we're still not done) As you face it, for us, the left bench arm piece didn't have the holes drilled correctly to match and thus we couldn't screw it tight so that the side and back pieces came tightly together as they were supposed to. Now, when you look at it, you can see a big gap on the left side. My husband is going to take it apart and redrill holes to see if we can get it to look better and be sturdier. May have just been my bench, so can't know if this is a problem with all of them. I do really like the size, the finish and the style.

middle back piece sides already peeling off revealing fiberboard.had it for approx.8 months and no one even sits on it.a piece of junk.
