Fremont Entryway Bench

This bench is a copy of the wade entryway bench from Pottery Barn that goes for $699 (which doesn't even include the cushion). Quality is great and lots of space for storage. The color is a creamy white with just a hint of weathering.

We spent a long time looking for the perfect entryway unit. We couldn’t be happier with our choice.This unit was super easy to put together and very sturdy - which is great for a household with kids.The unit is great value for money. Lots of storage for shoes.We also bought the matching wall unit and love both. They have been in use everyday for the year we’ve had them and both still look as good as new. Very happy with our purchase.

Warning, this was really tough to assemble. It took my husband and my father a couple of hours to do, but the quality and craftsmanship of this piece was pleasantly surprising. If you're looking to buy the expensive pottery barn version, and don't mind spending the time and aggravation assembling it, then I say it's well worth the price.

Very happy with this little bench and cushion. Great solution to shoes scattered all over the entryway. It is veneer over particleboard but nicely done. Cushion is a nice linen look fabric with good padding. It was kind of an interesting puzzle to put together, but instructions were good and turned out very sturdy. It was well packed and no missing parts. Recommend.

I was very excited by this bench because it was just the right size for a special place in the house. By the time I got home, my husband had already put the drawer together. As I looked at the remaining pieces, I noticed pock marks on each piece - both sides, top and front of drawer. They look like nail marks. I hoped they wouldn't be noticeable, but they are. And of course, they should not be there. We can take the whole piece apart to return, except the drawer will not come out and we would have to break the piece to send it back. I am hoping that we will hear from the manufacturer about what they can do for us - or we will be forced to tear it apart and return it.

This item is very cheaply made; arrived with scratches on the arms and is not made of wood, but is instead poorly painted to mimic aged wood. Tried to return but would be responsible for return shipping cost, which would obviously be a lot. So unfortunately I’m stuck with it. Do yourselves a favor and spend your money elsewhere. Definitely not worth the price!

Love this bench. I'm getting older and needed a place to sit as i put on my shoes, my balance isn't what it once was. Can't go wrong with this bench.

It is super sturdy and I found it easy to put together! It is quite heavy, so I would recommend having helping hands around if you’re a pocket sized gal like me. A few things would have been easier but I got it done anyway no problem. It looks so cute and holds a ton of shoes!
