Customer Reviews for Home Decorators Collection Vernon Smokey Brown 4-Drawer Storage Bench

This is exactly the piece of furniture I was looking for - it went together easily and looks great. My only issue with it is that it off-gases pretty strongly. We’ve had it for two weeks and it still smells pretty bad.

I was pleased with this cabinet because it fit the space at the foot of the queen bed, and solved a storage problem I had with the room. It is acceptable quality for a self-build unit.

We are very happy with this storage bench. It looks great in our house and it has excellent storage.

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.

Wasn't easy to put together but I love it! Gorgeous piece

Unit is attractive and fairly easy to assemble.

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

It looks good; it's functional; it's put together well.

Beautiful piece of furniture, easy to assemble, drawers wood had an odor that went away after cleaning with detergent. Looks great, I would recommend to others.

Just what I was looking for! I recommend this item.

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.

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.
