ZINUS Juliet Espresso Wood Bench

I am using this little bench as a living room “table” in my small living room. It is perfect for my needs! The color says it’s “espresso” but I’m glad I took a chance on ordering it, based on other reviewers saying it was more cherry-colored (which is what I wanted). It’s definitely not the dark brown/nearly black color I would associate with espresso, but that worked out in my favor. Assembly took about 20m, including unpacking. It comes with a cool little Allen ratchet tool which was fun to use. I bought this as “Used - Very Good Condition” for nearly $30 cheaper than the “New” price and I’m glad I did. Very happy with this!

Love this little bench!!! I ordered two for our small master bedroom. Was tired of folding the comforter down at night only to have it end up on the floor by morning. These benches fit perfectly at the end of our bed and now we have a place to fold down the comforter at night. Great sturdy seating during the day for putting shoes and socks on too. As others have stated, the packaging was spectacular. Bench was well protected in cardboard box and plastic wrapped foam packing. This is the first package I’ve ever received where the foam packing material wasn’t a nightmare to clean up. Bench was easy to assemble and came with all tools required. For the price, this bench is a great value and looks nice too!

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect for the price, but I must admit it is nice! it’s easy to put together, very sturdy and exactly what I needed for my plants. But I could see using this at the end of the bed or in a hallway, just as a bench as well! It seems like it would be a very versatile bench. They give you great tools to put it together as well. I highly recommend it!

I’m really impressed by this company. The subtle details in boxing the product like putting plastic around the styrofoam, a set of cute thank you cards, adding extra hardware, and a fancy ratchet for easier assembly. I would certainly buy from this company again. However, I was really not happy with the color. The box said Espresso and it’s not a traditional Espresso furniture color. It’s more redish brown and doesn’t match my other pieces. However I’m not returning it because it’s a great style, sturdy, the exact height that I needed, and is a great price. Unfortunately it is also easily scratched on the top. I might cover it with a cushion in the future to hide the red and scratches though.

The quality is still amazing 5 years later

This is worth every penny. The packaging alone made it worthy of a 5 star rating. This has to be the best packaged item I’ve ever purchased. They also included some nice and random greeting cards to give away to someone. And the lil ratcheting wrench that everyone is talking about is pretty cool. The bench is exactly what I was looking for and very well built. Doesn’t appear to be cheap or made of junk. I was quite surprised of the quality actually. Much nicer than I expected. The only thing I can say that isn’t positive is the color isn’t quite accurate. I would say this is more mahogany/walnut colored. Espresso to me in furniture is very dark. This is closer to a darker cherry/brownish than it is espresso. However the color works perfectly for where I have it. I totally would recommend this to anyone. You won’t be disappointed. And the company seems to be a good company that actually cares about their quality and customers so it’s a win all around. Buy one!

Love it! Just the right size. I use it as a small coffee table and when I have guests it serves as a little bench for the dining table. Easy to put together.

Was looking for a bench for a guest bathroom that wasn’t too bulky or fussy. This was not going to be used inside the shower - so water-resistance was not a priority, nor was storage - just needed a simple, solid bench. This was it! Aside from looking (and feeling) like real wood - it was packaged very well. All corners were protected with firm packing materials and the seat of the bench (a solid piece of wood) arrived in perfect condition - not a scratch in sight. Beautiful color too - a rich brown wood - not too red or warm. Assembly was a breeze - and here’s the best part - the company included a mini ratchet - which made assembly that much easier and quicker. I kept it - who doesn’t want a free hand tool! I wish all companies took this much pride in their products - well done.
