sturdy, good quality, multipurposeKodifairly simple to assemble. good quality, it's lightweight and sturdy. we've had it for about a year and it has held up well to frequent use as a bench, step stool, storage vessel, and an unintended cat scratch post. the cutout in the top makes it very easy to move.
ours has been dubbed "the shoe bench." it lives by the front door so we can sit down to put on/take off shoes that are stored in the cubby underneath. it fits around 5 pairs of shoes, perhaps more if they're smaller or stacked efficiently.5
Perfect RobertJust needed something to provide overnight storage for pillows, books and misc, and to provides a seat to put on shoes . This bench with a shelf does it all5
Good quality ChungThis bench is perfect for my needs. I stained it to match tarva bed I purchased recently.5
Ideal for a large family AnnaWe have placed several next to each other and created a perfect shoe storage and seating option for getting dressed5
Great benchJenniferVery sturdy and well made. These are great as benches to sit on or as storage/decor. I’m really glad I bought these. I found that using a socket wrench with a bit made installing the screws easier since I didn’t have enough hand strength for the tool provided. 5

Nice sturdy benchAnonymousSturdy, easy to assemble. Nice storage.5
GREAT PIECE OF FURNITURE!JazmineThis is by far my favorite piece of furniture I've ever bought from ikea. It was tricky for my friend and I to put together at first, but once we figured it out we got it done fairly quickly.
This has so many possibilities! I used it as an entry bench to set my bags when I come in. I was so worried at first that it would be bulky for my studio apartment but its perfect! When I have friends over, I used it for extra seating. I can't wait to paint it! I'm also thinking of buying maybe two more purely because of it's functionality and size.
Its' sturdy, the hole on the top works as a handle for easy carry so you can move it around. I really love this bench! 5
Beautiful DeborahThis was so easy to put together. My only regret was not painting it before I put it together. It’s made beautifully and the price was perfect. 5
A bit narrow otherwise great MercedesA bit narrow and could be a bit longer .. otherwise great product 4
Great piece of furniture!TatiaIt was fun to put together and then paint it. My kids loved doing this twice!5
Nice bench seat - but very misleading stock imagePatricioWe needed a small bench for the entry, and this fits the bill. Nice clean pine. Sourced from Poland - very pleased with that. Super easy assembly.
I stained and varnished the boards before assembly to ensure a nice finish. Came out looking real nice.
Now for the bad and the reduced score - check out the photo with the "boots" in the lower storage area. Looks like it can handle some decent sized footwear, no? I suspect whoever took that photo lopped the toes off the boots to get them to fit (unless those are gaiters?). The interior width/depth of that space is 8 3/4" at the bottom, the sides taper in so it's even smaller than that. My size 10 1/2 canvas tennis shoes are 11 7/8". THERE IS NO WAY THOSE ARE REAL BOOTS IN THE IMAGE. Maybe some kid boots might fit. Too bad I can't post a photo.3
Multi-use BenchCassandraI recently moved into a studio, so space is limited. I bought this bench to use mainly as a coffee table, but I love that I can use it for seating, as well. I stained it with an aged wood accelerator to match my other furniture. It was easy to put together and is perfect for the price. 5
BenchAnonymous reviewerI am very satisfied with my purchase of the Perjohan Bench. It met my needs for storage and sitting convenience. Thank you! Also will paint it once I make a color decision.5
We used it for tv standingCuneytIt must be a little bit higher, we use it in our bedroom alike tv unit, so it must be 10% higher. 3
