Haumea Acacia 50cm Bathroom Bench, acacia, LA REDOUTE INTERIEURS

Ordered these for my changing rooms in my leisure club, they look great, great quality too

Nice wood, sturdy and fairly easy to put together. As already mentioned wood is somewhat darker than on photos. Matches other acacia wood items we have though

I like this because it provides a place for keeping towels/clothing off the floor when preparing for a shower, and is actually strong enough to sit on. It isn't particularly heavy and can be moved around my bathroom with ease.

It is well made and I like that the fixings are hidden from view. I also like the little plastic feet that raise the wooden legs off the floor by about 8–10 mm, which I imagine will help prevent the wood from soaking up any moisture that might collect on a typical bathroom floor.

The wood itself is the typical quality and appearance of my average garden furniture that I've had from another high-street retailer and it is quite roughly finished on some edges. The actual colour is also darker than it appears in the picture, but I guess that's because my bathroom doesn't benefit from studio lighting.

I bought this during the 50% discount sale and at that price I consider it good value — a similar product from the many retail websites that drop-ship directly from China would cost roughly the same. I think I would be disappointed if I'd paid the full price.

This range is made from MDF, not acacia as listed in description.

The bench is nothing like the colour in the picture and is actually a dark brown which doesn't match the other wood in our bathroom. It was also difficult to put together as the holes didn't line up with the screws. If I'd known I wouldn't have bought it.

I bought this as a room tidy to slide the boxes under. It works perfectly, gorgeous wood, darker than picture and natural finish, no gloss coating. Could be used elsewhere not just bathroom.

It's a good, sturdy bench that is easy to assemble, looks good and is reasonably priced.
