For Father's Day, I bought my husband this
gun concealment bench to store his guns. They have been in the closet ever since we moved in this home so I wanted him to have a proper storage for it. He wanted a gun safe that would show each of them but I thought this bench is a great idea. I don't really want to display guns so this is perfect.
I bought it at Hayneedle online and I was worried that it would have some damage when delivered. I was right with my worries.
The bottom part of the drawer was coming apart from the sides. The staples for some reason are pulling apart from the wood.
I had to correct the issue before my husband could see it because I did want him to say "this is a piece of junk!" He never want to buy any piece of furniture online because he can't see it and it is hard to return them when it's delivered at your home already, it's a hassle really.
Aside from the drawer issue, the varnish is also starting to chip off on one of the panels.
I was gonna try to assemble it myself and surprise my husband with it as a complete piece but I gave up. It needs two people to ]put it together.
The drawer also have some dents.
The tools and other accessories is also lacking the allen wrench. The number 12 is there but the wrench is not, I was very disappointed. Luckily, we have one available at home.
Here's more damage on the wood.
Anyway, my husband liked it except the part that it was a little hard to put together. Some of the parts where screw needs to be drilled, they did not pre-drilled it so we had to drill it ourselves.
Despite the small dents and other issues, it was actually a good piece for the price. It is made in Vietnam and the wood is real and not the composite one, my husband hates those composite stuff.
So now, all of his stuff have a storage and we have an extra space for sitting. I love the fact that all of it are now locked in one place where kids can't get to it.
