Great bench
January 25, 2013
I looked at the bench a dozen times before purchasing. It looks as great in person as it does on line/in the catalog. The cushion is comfy and the baskets are sturdy. I'm pretty happy with it!

Baskets leave marks
January 18, 2013
My poor rating is actually for the baskets that are recommended for this bench - Samantha Square Baskets. They left stains all over the bench cubbies and the stains will not come off. I have since purchased other baskets from another company that do not leave marks.
The bench is very sturdy and very well made. It is unfortunate we need to repaint it because of the baskets.

Great bench
January 16, 2013
I purchased this for my sunroom because I needed something to store kids' mittens/hats and shoes and boots. I also bought one of the baskets and the blue-striped cushion. It looks fantastic and is a very sturdy product. I would definitely recommend this.

great bench
January 5, 2013
This bench is great! It was easy to put together, it's very sturdy, and it's very comfortable if topped with the tufted cushion. We also ordered the baskets, and now we have a place to stow our hats, dog leashes, and other miscellaneous items. It's a great place to sit to put shoes on or pull them off. I'm very pleased with this purchase and would recommend the Samantha bench to anyone considering buying it.

Awesome Bench
December 7, 2012
We bought this bench thinking it may not be as sturdy since many people said it was cheap or not worth the money. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a sleek and very sturdy entryway bench. It's great, and the baskets are very high quality too. They are expensive but worth it if you just throw your shoes in and slam the basket back in. Many baskets are not strong, but these baskets are very strong and durable. Highly recommend the entire product.

Great bench!
November 26, 2012
This bench fits perfectly in my entryway! I had an empty area as you walked in my front door and this bench is ideal. You can sit and take your shoes off/on easily. It's also attractive and I've received many compliments on it. Very simple to put together with only one screwdriver.

Great addition to our home
October 3, 2012
This bench is absolutely beautiful and sturdy. It took my husband about 15 minutes to put it together. The cushion fits perfect and it is a great addition to our home. Thank you, Pottery Barn!

My first PB purchase over 7 years ago!
August 3, 2012
This was the first PB purchase I ever made over 7 years ago! We still use it and it looks great. We have it in black and yes, we have a some scratches, but I was able to easily conceal them. I have had 2 dogs and one more kid since this purchase and it has been able to withstand a lot of use in our entryway. I do wish there were more bench cushion options, but the bench itself has held up nicely.

Birthday/ Anniversary Present
August 3, 2012
I purchased the Samantha Entryway Bench for my daughter's birthday and her/husband's anniversary. She had been wanting one for a long time. She loves Pottery Barn furniture and items. She has three children and they now have a place to sit down and take off their shoes when they get home from school. Wonderful gift!

entryway bench
July 16, 2012
We bought this for our mudroom/entryway and it is perfect for our needs. The kids can sit on it to take off/put on shoes and the bins for storage keeps the shoes off the floor- makes the mudroom look very nice. The bench is sturdy and is a good height - easy to put together.

Perfect place for my stuff!
May 4, 2012
I purchased the white entryway bench and placed it at the end of my bed. The storage baskets are a great place to hide things until I can put them away. I love having a place to sit when putting on my shoes and it looks great!

Bench
December 10, 2011
We are so happy with this bench. It is so beautiful and my kids are finally sitting down on it to put their shoes on instead of putting their shoes on the floor. It was so easy to put together and fits in our entryway just perfect!

A great bench!
November 28, 2011
We recently bought the Samantha Entryway Bench (in the cream color) and we love it! We have a very small mud room but it fit perfectly and it does make this area look much nicer. We use it primarily for shoes and this bench makes the mud room look cleaner and neat. It is very sturdy, does not wobble at all and it arrived without any defects. It was fairly easy to assemble. The most taxing part was getting it out the box! We also bought the tufted cushion in sage. The cushion fit very well on top and it dresses up the bench. We didn't get the baskets but we may purchase them in the future.
We definitely recommend it!

Good looking bench
November 7, 2011
The baskets that are made for this bench scratch the surface off. If you need the bench for looks and not for functionality, it's a nice bench. If you're planning on storing anything you need to access on a daily basis, the finish is NOT durable. I plan on adding felt to the bottom of the baskets.
