We have had this bench kzfaq.infoUgkxNuLbiXpLQ-mKH5NlyjrNe88hiCk2N3Cg for five years now and it is still holding up strong with minimal signs of wear! So much so that I decided to get another one to store other stuff. The first one is still beautiful, strong and is easy to clean. It’s been in our living room and we store toys and blankets in it and it really holds quite a bit of stuff. I purchased a similar one two years ago from Aldi and let me tell you that one fell apart in less than six months of use. Get this one if you’re looking. Seriously worth it. Five years already and I can’t believe it looks this good and has held up for the price! Awesome bench, the new one I just got is identical.

@@ValerieAguiar my original thought was turning it into a rustic plant stand but again don't really want to invest in the tools. I had to borrow a friend's palm sander because I don't even have that..lol. Hand sanding was not getting the job done because of deeper knife grooves. I'll let you know how it turns out Should have it done this week. I'm serial crafter and have way too many projects going on at the same time to really get into a larger one like a bench. I love the thought of doing it but I know I would never get it done. Hope the weather cools off for you soon.
