Vernon Polar White 4-Drawer Storage Bench

Assembly was straightforward and the finished bench looks nice. One serious critique: the color in the picture is inaccurate. It is quite a bit lighter than depicted, nearly white. And the handles are nickel colored, not bronze like you see here. I ended up painting the handles to get the color I desired.

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.

I really like this storage bench - good build quality and looks great. We got this because we needed more storage and a comfortable place to sit - we frequently have large groups of people over to our house and with a smaller house dual purpose furniture is great. This bench is very comfortable to sit on. We have it in the bay window of our dining area, under the window. We have a farm house style table butted up to this and it makes for very comfortable seating on the end of the table. The drawers are under the table so we put items there that we don't need frequently but still need access to. It is a few inches taller than a normal bench but it is still very comfortable. The assembly was very easy and similar to an Ikea piece. The biggest thing that stood out to me was the drawer slides. This has full extension, ball bearing drawer slides - these are not cheap and are a huge upgrade over Ikea and lower grade furniture. I make custom cabinetry and furniture and this style drawer slide is my go-to so I was very surprised to see this in a mass-produced piece - very impressed. The components have a nice finish without any marring. The directions were easy to follow and all the parts were well labelled. There are five feet; four on each side and one in the middle to support the weight. Overall length is 53" Very nice piece of furniture - very happy with it

The bench was received in two boxes. The assembly worked out fine in our extra bedroom. We opened the window in the bedroom because of the smell and shut the bedroom door hoping it would clear out the smell. The smell of the product's frame and drawers was terrible. We HAD TO move it out of the house and put it in the garage's open storage area to air out. It sat in the open storage area for 5 days. We rechecked the smell and it was better but still distinct. We then moved it back into the house as a test. We HAD TO move it out to the patio and air out our house. It sat on the patio (with all the drawers slightly adjusted open) to air out again for 4 days. We finally returned it to Home Depot because of the smell not suitable inside a home. It's from China and maybe they use a different wood protection product.

I purchased this bench to put in our master bedroom. It was easy to assemble, shipped damage free, and looks great. Color is creamy as pictured and the cushion is khaki as pictured. The drawers open smoothly. Everything as expected. Great purchase!

This storage bench was easy to assemble and met every expectation I had. It's sturdy and beautiful. Very proud to have it in my home for others to see.

This bench more than met our expectations. Very easy to assemble, sturdy to sit on, beautiful to look at. Highly recommend this product.

Easy to put together.

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!

Well packaged, product was as stated in the description. Well made. Would recommend. I also got it for a great price! No complaints from me!
