Customer Reviews for Acme Furniture Charla Light Gray and Oak Storage Bench

While this bench was easy to put together, solid, and beautiful . . . it stinks so badly I've had to move it into the garage to "air out". It's been there for a couple of weeks and still stinks so badly I won't move it back into the house. I have literally soaked it in Febreze many times . . . still burns our eyes and sinuses with the chemical smell. Hope it can eventually be moved back into the house.

It looks good, was easy to assemble.Packed in too much styrofoam (go green!), and smells toxic, so we are still airing it out. This product could be great with a few improvements.

Better then I thought it would be - well made-great finish and wife loves it

It was easy to assemble and is just the right size.

It looks very nice for where it is placed, a large foyer.

This bench has nice clean lines and looks nice. It was easy to assemble and fits nicely under the window so our Cavaliers can look out the window. The window is directly over a heat duct so we needed something that would didn't block the warm air in winter. This bench does the trick and is sturdy. BUT -- the seat area is VERY Hard -- not "nicely cushioned" at all! Spoiled little dogs aren't too sure they like the firmness, so I'll need to put a softer cushion on top. Regardless, it does what we need it to do, and I can recommend this product as long as you don't want something where the seat feels like you're sitting on a rock.

Very nice and sturdy bench. Quick and easy assembly.

All parts and pieces arrived in the box. Took me a little time to put together because I wanted to make sure the connections were put in correctly and tight enough. I used the Allen wrench provided with the connections so it may have been faster to use a Allen wrench with a handle.

Great small piece furniture. The reason to remove one star is that one piece of accessories was missed in the shipment.

Very easy to assemble, great addition to our hallway!

Really happy with this purchase. Easy assembly and good quality for a reasonable price.

Easy to assemble, pleasing to the eye!

Fits the space I needed to fill perfectly

This bench is sturdy and comfortable - a great height for the entryway and handy for the extra shoes we need to keep close by. Would definitely recommend it!

We have it at the foot of our bed, extremely stable and nicely made. We love it!! My friend ordered one for her mom to use as foot stool from their couch.

A very nice bench and easy to put together. A good quality for the price. Overall happy with it!

Our bench looks beautiful and works perfectly to hold shoes underneath!

Super easy to assemble, sturdy, and it looks great!!! The color is more of a deep teal than the denim-ish blue that the picture portrays, but I still love it!

Great bench, stable and fits the use perfectly. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 as I had to supply some of my own screws as it didn't provide all the parts. Otherwise great!

Very sturdy bench, a nice addition to our entryway. The wood had a reddish tint so it looked a little off next to our oak furniture. We sanded off the surface and painted it white to match our floor trim and it looks perfect.

Well made, easy to assemble and true to specs and description.

One star for liking the bench, but otherwise negative for upsetting my husband by missing a washer
