FIRST HILL FHW Messina Lift-Top Storage Ottoman Bench with Faux-Leather Upholstery and Nailhead Trim, Jet Black

We purchased this a while ago, but I never reviewed it. It is much higher quality than I was expecting. Very nice gray material and it feels really solid. The top/lid is comfortable to sit on. It is much lower than we thought it would be, though. The last one we had was a good 6-8 inches taller. So when you go to sit on it, it feels low. We have it at the end of our bed and its a LOT lower than the top of our mattress. But we like it! There is lots of room inside to store things, the top opens easily. It was super easy to assemble because all we had to do was put the feet on. Its definitely a nice storage bench!

I was looking for a storage bench for our bedroom to hold extra pillows and blankets but didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg, so I took a chance on this one. The negative reviews seemed centered around the leather ones, and I was getting the gray cloth. It arrived totally assembled aside from the legs, and those were very easy to just screw on. No flaws in the fabric or anything. If you’re looking for comfort, this isn’t it - it’s pretty hard. But it’s also fairly lightweight, so you likely wouldn’t have to worry much about getting it up stairs if that’s a concern. Overall happy with the purchase and hope that it holds up over time.

I love this bench. I got it for my room to mainly hide my books while giving it a touch of style. It was between this and a bookshelf. I opted for a bench because I could also use it for seating as well. I love to use this while studying and just kick back and relax on it. My daughter also loves to stretch out on it and fall asleep. It's comfy for a bench and gives my room a touch of character. And it has loads of space for my bulky nursing books but could be easily used for linen and blankets. I was pleasantly surprised to see how sturdy it is.

Love the look and feel. It’s pretty big and spacious as well

Just as described. Easy to assemble. You just need to screw on the feet. Fits perfectly at the foot of my king bed. It is a bit more shallow than I imagined, but I am able to store an extra blanket and a few pillows in it, which was the plan. It doesn't take up too much space and provides needed storage and seating. It's perfect for my specific need. My room is black and white, so grey is a good transition/neutral color.

I have this in my bedroom for my husband to sit on since our bed his to high for him, and it hold his weight (300lbs) perfectly and the quality is great! It’s light and i didn’t even really have to put it together! Just the feet on the bottom, which took about five minutes! Love this product!

Packaged very wellSo beautiful and holds lots of blankets and sheets.

I was looking for something to store my winter PJs in at the end of my bed and wanted as big an ottoman as I could find. This has plenty of room. Thought it might be a bit deeper but it works.Arrived in good condition. A slight “new” smell inside so I just put a few bars of soap inside with my PJS. Also nice and low so hides the fact my bed is held up with bricks. 🤪 Looked a bit TOO low with my very high bed so a couple of throw pillows seemed to fix that.Loved the fact that it only required a mere 5 min to screw the feet on.

Amazing value for the cost. It's beautifully detailed with the nail studding all the way around, top lifts easily with a huge amount of storage room..great for families as well for toy or consoles out of the way. I put blankets and photo albums in mine and still have room. It's excellent for sturdiness, adult can easily lay on it as it is almost 4 feet long. Excellent purchase.. So very pleased. Thank You !

Excellent product well made and well priced. It is quite large and has a lot of storage space. Looks wonderful at the foot of our bed.

Very Happy with this..great storage..fabulous price
