VASAGLE EKHO Collection - Storage Ottoman Bench, Entryway Bedroom Bench, 15 Gallons, Synthetic Leather with Stitching, Mid-Century Modern, Safety Hinges, Loads 660 lb, Caramel Brown ULOM074K01

Very sturdy, easy to assemble and looks great!

Bought this for my daughter’s bedroom as part of a remodel. Relatively shallow storage compartment under the top but sufficient for items that are regularly used at her desk. Nice quality material, sturdy legs, and perfect height to be placed as a bench seat in front of a desk or table. One negative to share is that when the product arrived it was missing the hardware to mount the legs to the bench. Fortunately, I had extra hardware from other projects that fit the unit perfectly. Comfortable seat as well!!

This is great. Looks very nice and high quality for the price. The fabric looks and feels like real leather. I was looking for a long but narrow coffee table for my tiny home. This is perfect. I can use it as an ottoman. I place a tray on it to hold remotes and drinks, but can easily remove to acces the storage compartment. It says on the instructions that it can hold 600lbs, so is perfect for extra seating as well. It was easy to put together. The hardware used to lift and hold up the lid is quality and that part is already indtalled. Shippy and packaging were thoughtful and done well. I have no complaints. I love it.

This is a storage ottoman/bench. It is not really a great ottoman unless you are going to use it at the end of a bed because, with the legs on, it sits higher than most couches, so it would be uncomfortable to use it as a footrest. It is, however, perfect for a front entryway or mudroom. It is slim (just over 47 inches wide) and is not as deep as some storage benches (just under 16 inches deep). However, it has enough room to store off-season coats, hats, and gloves (for those who live in climates that necessitate different spring/fall/summer and winter outerwear). The only required assembly is putting the legs on, which is more difficult than it needs to be. Instead of putting a threaded end on the end of the legs so you can screw them directly into the base, three small screws attach the legs to the base. The screws can be a bit hard to line up with the screw holes unless two people are working together, one person holding the legs in place and another person turning the screws. Once the legs are on, the bench is high enough off the ground that you can vacuum under it, whether using a regular or robotic vacuum. It is also very sturdy as a bench. Two adults can easily sit on it without an issue. Ultimately, it is a good storage option, especially if you have limited storage in a mudroom or front entryway.

Well packaged. Easy installation, just the legs need to be installed. Looks nice and holds my junk. Good to sit on in the morning and put on my shoes and socks. No off smells and the color is nice and true to the photos.

Here’s what prospective buyers should know: It’s a beautiful product. I chose the 23gallon storage ottoman in green. It was delivered in good time and with care. Thank you Amazon. However. The item I received was a little wonky, ie one end closed as it should (seamlessly, other than the join we expect to see) while The OTHER end did not close completely & rather than the expected join we expect to see, I see a 1.5” gap. No big deal, things like this happen. When they do, we’re directed to click “Troubleshooting.” We do that and hope it works. I did that and saw no options for this particular issue. When this is the case, we hope to see an email address or, better yet, a phone number that connects directly to the manufacturer. It’s great to see that actual after-sale support is accessible to us. When I saw that, I said Nice! A live agent! I call the number. A few rings in, an outgoing message made by a real person who’s away from her desk just like the ones those of us now over 60-ish recorded on the dial-up phones that sat on our desks before we retired. Remember? We made em short, but long enough so callers had a second to gather their thoughts and do what we ask after hearing “You’ve reached _____. I’m away from my desk at the moment. Please leave a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for calling and have a great day.” Personally, I never said “…a brief message” or a “detailed message” or a “good number” (vs a bad one). Say what you want. You’re in my Rolodex. They’re gonna say “Hey, it’s Bill. Clinton in case ya forgot, ha ha. Need to run somethin by ya. I’m in a bind. Yeah, again. Bye.” Pause. “I mean it, sistah! Call me back and ASAP. It’s about that thing. And yeah … AGAIN (sigh).” Get back to our desks, see red light blinking, mumble aw geeze, put on the speaker (when it’s “You have 6 messages” we’re double aw geeze.) Still. We said we’d call em back as soon as we can. Well, now we can, and so we do, thanking god it’s Friday. It’s more or less the same here, when like me, you call and dammit, she’s away from her desk. Her outgoing message is long-ish, but it gives you time to organize the info she asks for: Your name, number, your order number and a DETAILED description of what’s going on. Then same as we’d do, after saying thanks the ubiquitous “… and someone will get back to you asap.” You do as she’s asked, you press 2 to Send Message Now, you hang up and you wait. You go about your business, hope “someone” calls soon (one less thing) and you wait. Coming up on 5pm the following day, damn! No one called you back. So ya call again. “… away from my desk ..” you know the drill. The next day is Thursday. It’s 4:30 and nothin. (You have HELD BACK and NOT reached for a wrench and tried to fix that mechanism yourself, right? Cause you might be handy, but you’re also honest and the last thing you wanna tell em is “… geeze, it’s been flat on my couch for … uh tick tock .. it’s in my peripheral vision, driving me nuts. Haven’t heard back from you so I took a Phillips Head, pair of pliers, some DW-40 .. it’s a common hinge so I thought .. idk I just wanted to screw the legs on, put it over there and be done with it. I mean I’m REALLY handy, but that’s one not so common common hinge, isn’t it?” Of COURSE YA HELD BACK. Wasn’t easy, but ya held off cause ya know one thing: tell em that & you’re SOL. Then it’s Friday and still nothin. It’s almost the weekend PLUS ya feel a little “… uh yeah, it’s me again order (lemme get my glasses) .. uh yeah uh I feel a little foolish now ya know? And kind of .. listen, I don’t wanna NAG atcha. I hate that. But uh .. are you gonna call me or … “ BEEP!!!! Ya timed out. Auto voice is back and ya don’t press 2 to Send, ya press 3 to “listen and re-record.” Ya hear yourself uh-ing and sounding apologetic! Don’t know about you, but now I’m PISSED. I couldn’t care less about the ottoman anymore. I think oh man, I’ll just cut bait and give to my son’s friend’s aunt. What’s $____ anyways? Wait. I’ll tell ya what $_____ is. It’s 2 gallons of that paint I need for that room, that paint I wanted but .. 🤔 a little pricey. You record one. last. message. Mine went something like … nevermind. You don’t wanna know. I did advise her to listen to and re-record her own outgoing message tho. And I think I called her a liar. It felt kinda crappy tho. So I just initiated a return here on Amazon because the faulty one I got kinda lost its potential. The thing could deliver, but the people behind it didn’t. It’s a it’s the Little Things that matter kind of thing.

Nice and comfy. plus added extra storage!

Great for the price! Easy to put together. Will fit some throw blankets and extra throw pillows. Storage isn't deep enough for much else, but I don't think it's meant to be. I also really like the color. Only time will tell how well the material will last. However, it can hold a decent weight (300 lbs or so, maybe more) with the steel legs.
