Decor Therapy Kyoto Wooden Bench, Antique white

This bench is exactly what I was looking for! It was super easy to put together and seems to be of great quality for the price. After reading reviews of others, I was a bit concerned that it would come damaged but mine did not. I will agree with other reviews though about the color - it is definitely more of an ivory than white. I still love it though!

This bench arrived in great shape and on time. I assembled it in less than ten minutes. I bought it to place in front of my living room window to give my plants a sunny spot to live without taking up too much space. The color is a creamy off white with a slightly distressed finish, so it goes well with some other wood furniture in the room. I'm very happy with it, and so are the plants!

I have used this bench in the past, having purchased them from Homegoods many years ago. They had not been used for seating, but rather for low tables for visiting toddlers, or used for stacking small trunks on top at the end of an empty hallway. I needed another and kept checking Homegoods, but benches are not being sold just now. Thrilled to find this in Amazon, I ordered one and it came the next day. It is fine, and is only going to be put in a closet to keep larger purses and tote bags off the floor. I read the directions quickly. The hardware included was not perfectly counted out, but we are used to that. What I did not do, was watch as I was screwing in the screws. Two went right through. I double checked I had chosen the correct sizes. I had. The shorter screws were too long for the job. Too bad, but as I stated, this bench is going in the closet. Just watch what you are doing and you’ll be fine. In the past, I had painted my two previous benches blue, but will keep this one as is, creamy white.

I bought this for my teen granddaughter and she put it together herself. Very nice.

This bench is cute. But when it took it out of the box, I knew I would need to repaint it--the paint finish is of a very poor quality. I ordered the white bench and it has a green-ish cast to to it. But the biggest issue is with Amazon's chosen carrier for shipping, which was for home delivery by the U.S. Post office. I ordered three of these benches. Only one of them was actually delivered to my home. For the other two, a note was left in my mailbox that I was not home when they attempted to deliver. Not true--I work from home and have security cameras on my porch. If I had known these would not be delivered to my home, I would have selected an option to pick up from an Amazon facility rather than spend more than a half hour in line at the post office to retrieve my purchased items.

Originally purchased this bench from Homegoods in the color green for our new kitten to sit on while bird watching. He is very picky when it comes to cat furniture and for some reason he took in this bench immediately - sits, lays and sleeps on it. We needed another one for our bedroom as he loves to look out that window too, but Homegoods only ever carries the same items twice. The bench had no brand labeling on it so the hunt was rough! Amazon recommended it in the front page after days of searching for similar benches and I am one happy cat mom! The assembly was easy. Purchased the white color but it is more of an ivory, yellow toned color. It has some markings, making it look somewhat rustic looking and it really matches our bedroom furniture/decor nicely. Ours came slightly wobbly, but we have carpeted floors and it stays stable that way. Not sure if this serves as a good dining bench, maybe an entrance/mud room bench as it is quiet small, short and narrow, more like a kids bench.

Purchased these so that I can have more plants that take advantage of the sun coming in through a picture window. Easy enough to assemble, and the plants are happy.

During our renovation, this bench has served as a seat, table, and storage holder. Thank goodness we bought it first.

Easy peasy
