Customer Reviews for Home Decorators Collection Laughlin Antique Blue Storage Bench

Many reviews state this is green not blue. It's both green and blue i.e. teal. The antiquing is not strong. I didn't read the description very thoroughly and mistakingly thought this was assembled, LOL nope. I also believed it weighed 40 lbs., again LOL nope it's almost 90 lbs. The FedEx guy kindly took it up the front steps for me but I couldn't get it in the house without unpacking it piece by piece. In the daylight, this looks blue, in the house it looked green. Either way teal is what I wanted so happy with the color. It does not have a strong antiqued look. It took 2 hours to assemble, the front piece was warped a little and the dowels were not snug so kept slipping out, but got it together. No pilot holes for the back so that took a while. The instructions are pretty good but not 100% thorough. In spite of good packing slight ding in paint on edge, not bad though. It's a very sturdy, very nice-looking piece, with lots of space for stuff.

I submitted a review earlier but wanted to add a photo- Good quality bench but it is green NOT blue

This took me a long time to put together and I was very disappointed to see there was no antique staining on the whole bottom. It is very noticeable and sticks out. The bench is awesome quality and everything lined up nicely and was packaged very well. Also all the screws are all numbered and instructions were great. Hope they can send me a new bottom and make it right for me. If that didn’t happen I would give it 5 stars.

I love this bench! It is sturdy enough to hold two adults. The cushion is too hard and the color is more green blue than it looks online which is the reason for 4 stars rather than 5 but I am still thrilled with the purchase.

Very happy with the purchase. My sweeties also approved it. :-)

The box was demolished on delivery but the product unscathed and intact within. Sturdy. Beautiful. Perfect match

I have assembled a lot of furniture in my day and this was one of the best assemblies I have experienced. Everything aligned perfectly and the assembly was fairly simple. I am very please with the final assembled product and would highly recommend this storage bench.

Excellent quality and easy to assemble. I was looking for green so was very happy when the reviews said it was green and not blue as stated in the description. Very pleased with my purchase.

The chest had to be put together. The directions were fairly easy to follow and all pieces fit together nicely. The storage bench is attractive; however, the description says it is blue. It was not blue; it is green.

It looks amazing very sturdy yet elegant. My only issue is was the color didn't look as it seemed online.

I think the manufacturer messed up their paint color specifications. Mine was green with no antique paint scheme like others mentioned. Luckily I noticed before putting it together and returned item. It looks well made and solid but color is too different to keep.

Color a little more green than blue. But love it.

I am very happy with this product. It is well-designed with details like adjustable shelves. They also clearly had the customer in mind with little details like caps to cover the cam-lock hardware and a removable upholstery cover for the cushion. The unit is well-built and sturdy. It was very well packaged so that even though there was damage to the box, there was no damage to any of the pieces inside. The hardware was very clearly marked in individual bags and the instructions were clear - installation was a breeze! Lastly, the color is a greenish-blue, just FYI (Antique Blue sounds groovy, but frankly isn't very descriptive if you are looking for something specific). I took a chance and luckily it's exactly what I was hoping for!

Fairly easy to assemble, heavy and sturdy. No cheaply made.

Easy assembly and quality is very good. Color of unit is a little off from picture but not significantly

The storage bench arrived in good condition. It is well made and when put together looks nice. My only complaint is the color. It is antique green NOT antique blue. Before I ordered it - I did read comments/rating of others saying it looked green. Ordered it anyway - hoping mine would be the Antique Blue shown in the description title and picture shown. (Sometimes monitor colors are off -right?) Mine arrived antique green. If you are looking for a blue tone bench - be aware - it really is green.

Very easy to assemble

I looked at the picture of a BLUE chest for 2 months before buying. I was disappointed to see that it's GREEN. Looking at pics posted by other buyers, I see green and blue. The picture needs to be updated so buyers know what color they are getting!

These sure exactly what I needed.

Super sturdy! This piece is gorgeous and functional. Assembly was easy. So glad to have eliminated shoe clutter in my entryway.

So i think its a nice cute piece Obviously that’s why I bought it but like most of the other reviews I read the color is not what I was expecting … this is more of a army green teal color . So not exactly what I was expecting but still cute and also I didn’t get enough screws with it, they shorted me but if it wasn’t for the color being off and the missing screws I would’ve given it a higher number

This is a nice piece of furniture. I assembled myself and it went fairly well. My only complaint is the color does not match the picture. It is more green than teal/blue. It looks antique in picture but does not in person. Disappointed in that aspect but it ended up looking nice with my other furniture.

Beautiful and not too hard to assemble. One person can do this, 2 people is better. You want to have an electric screw driver to speed up the assembling process. Material is decent quality.

The storage bench was easy to assemble. I had it done in about hour and half. It fits perfectly in front of my bed. The extra storage is great for me as I live in a apartment with small closets.

I returned to the store. Color was very very green, no blue tones at all. Didn’t match my decor. Was very disappointed in the color advertising. Loved the product though, sturdy, looked good, just the color was completely off! Smooth return process.

Just a little scratch in the corner. Beside that it’s like the picture. Easy to assemble too.
