Vernon Polar White 4-Drawer Storage Bench

We needed a new storage bench for our side entry; something to sit on to remove boots, store gloves, hats and scarves, and still look good. This ticked all my boxes - Sturdy, functional and attractive!

The Vernon Polar White 4-Drawer Storage Bench is such a beautiful bench!! The best part about this bench is the instructions! They include absolutely everything you need (use your own screwdriver of course) and the instructions walk you step by step - in complete detail - so there is absolutely no confusion, no mistakes, and no stress! On top of that, the shipping and packing is so secure there is not one dent or scratch in the entire piece! It is so sturdy - confident to sit on even as an adult - and the drawers slide so smooth as well as are the perfect size for anything you need to store!

White Storage Bench This is a white bench with four storage drawers. The “white” is not pure white. It is an off-white, not a crisp pure white. The item requires assembly. it comes in two large boxes each weighing 50 or 60 pounds. The parts are all labeled with little letter stickers, and the hardware comes in labeled bags. The assembly instruction book is only in english. The first pages include the parts list and was useful as I laid out all the parts from the two boxes. The instructions had adequate pictures and text. The letters identifying a couple of the hardware packets did not match the numbers in the instructions, but because the items were also described.. (not just Screw “A” - but Screw “A” - 1 inch flat head screw), I did not have problems with the assembly. I realize now that I got busy with the assembly and forgot to take pictures of the parts - until the unit was fully assembled, so sorry, not parts / assembly pictures. Just the finished product. The assembly was typical wood peg in holes, and screw in cam/pegs with the round cam locks in adjoining pieces. One of the pre-drilled holes for one of the cam/pegs was the wrong size. I had to use some glue and wood toothpicks to make the hole hold the cam peg. The back panel is attached with a couple dozen screws. You will need a Philips screwdriver for assembly, and I found a power screwdriver (or drill with screwdriver bit) was very very helpful. The drawer glide hardware was pre-assembled on the drawer panels and drawer sides. All four drawers are identical. The bottom panel of each drawer feels sturdy. The cloth covered cushion on the top is very firm. Not a comfortable long-term seat, but perfect for sitting down to tie your shoes. This is a nice looking and sturdy “off white” bench with nice storage.

So much to like about this storage bench! It is classy, elegant and easy to assemble. If I had a dislike, it would be the bottom of each drawer could be made of sturdier stuff. But all in all I absolutely love this piece! It gave me added storage with a gorgeous addition to my bedroom, though this could be used in other rooms as well.

Fairly easy to assemble-no missing parts. Strong manufacturing "odor" of parts... Odor lasts a few weeks.

The storage bench looks exactly as pictured. Assembly was straightforward and resulted in a great looking piece of bedroom furniture. The drawers glide easily, and the firm cushion is as handy as a slipper chair. I highly recommend this piece.
