- Is the leather real?
- No. Simpli Home uses a bonded or faux leather finish over the frame, not full-grain hide. It looks like leather but will not age like it.
- How much weight can it hold?
- The bench is rated for up to 250 lb, enough for one or two adults sitting.
- Does the lid stay open on its own?
- No. The lid lifts off completely and has no hinge or soft-close, so you set it aside to reach the storage.
- What can I store inside?
- The compartment is large enough for blankets, shoes, toys or linens. It is not tall enough for bulky items like boots standing upright.
- Where does it fit best?
- Entryways, the foot of a bed or a living room wall. It has no back or arms, so it works as accent seating rather than a sofa.
- Does it come assembled?
- It ships flat and needs assembly. Expect to attach the frame and fit the lid, which some buyers find fiddly.
