Room×Lab Review · Review updated August 28, 2026

Owners of Licorice and Volcanic Gray benches call it sturdy and easy to assemble; a few report loose fabric or cushion indentation early on

Room×Lab read every written comment among the 226 ratings Article shows for the Chantel 56-inch bench: 143 distinct written reviews, with the other 83 giving ratings only. Article shows the same reviews for the Licorice and Volcanic Gray colors, so this review covers both and names the color where an account concerns one upholstery. The reviews below pair three Licorice owners' praise with three critical reviews from Volcanic Gray owners, about support, loose fabric and seat comfort. They are examples, not a tally: only nine of the 143 written reviews rated the bench three stars or lower.

Room×Lab rating: 8.3 out of 10 (limited confidence). Owners of the Licorice and Volcanic Gray benches repeatedly praise its sturdiness, easy assembly and room-friendly proportions. The caveats: a few saw the fabric loosen or wrinkle, or the cushion indent, after limited use, and a small number reported support problems.

  • Stability and sturdiness: 28 favorable mentions; 2 concerns — Owners of both colors repeatedly describe a substantial, stable bench. One otherwise positive owner reported a slightly loose internal connection, an isolated concern rather than a broad pattern.
  • Assembly: 24 favorable mentions; 2 concerns — Owners consistently described assembly as manageable, commonly involving simple leg attachment. Isolated remarks mentioned awkward screw access or missing hardware.
  • Durability and upholstery wear: 5 favorable mentions; 7 concerns — Durability comments were few and split. Some owners praised solid construction or a cushion that rebounds after use; the concerns include fabric that loosened or wrinkled and cushion indentation after limited use.

Before buying

Owners of this bench in Licorice and Volcanic Gray call it sturdy and easy to assemble; a few saw the fabric loosen or wrinkle, or the cushion indent, after limited use. Check that a backless 19-inch seat, 56 × 17 inches, suits your table.
