Harris White Backless Nook with Interior Storage by Linon

I was looking for a corner bench seating option for my kitchen and came across the LINÓN HARRIS breakfast nook. My living room has an odd, long rectangular shape, so I have to be intentional about the furniture I choose. I carefully checked the dimensions and knew it would be slightly longer for my corner, but I was fine with that. One of the biggest selling points for me was the storage feature. The box arrived in perfect condition, but fair warning – it’s heavy! I definitely recommend having two people to help assemble it. Once I opened it, I was impressed with how organized everything was. Each piece was labeled, which made it easier to follow the instructions. The assembly directions were clear, and I appreciated the option to watch a video for extra guidance. It took me about three hours to assemble because I like to double-check my work to avoid mistakes. The quality of the wood is excellent – very solid and durable. It feels like a high-end piece that will last for years. The storage space is just right for my needs. I even shared a photo showing one side empty and the other filled with hanging files – it’s super versatile! Overall, this is a beautiful, well-made addition to my home. It blends seamlessly with various decor styles and adds a chic yet practical touch to my space. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a stylish and functional seating solution!

I spent a lot of time deciding whether or not to buy this bench since it seemed to be what I needed, but the reviews were mixed, but I’m very happy I did. Here are the highlights based on my experiences and others reviews. - it is very heavy…in my book that is good. That makes it sturdy and it appears to be real wood and not pressed plywood for the most part - I had no damaged items. It was packaged well with styrofoam all around annd inside. Anything can get damaged and shipping depending on how it’s handled so not really sure that that should be a factor. - some people commented on the paint, not being thick enough. Yes I can see the woodgrain, but it doesn’t look bad. In fact it proves its real wood and if you really need it to be a darker white, you could just paint it in my opinion it looks good. - I put this together by myself and my 13 year old son helped me a couple times - which I would say was needed. It took a little bit of time, but like I said, it’s well-made. If I did it with out stopping maybe 1.5-2 hours…but I took my time and just did it within my evening. - everything was amazingly well labeled and easy to figure out what went where. The reason it takes so long is because there is many steps and they do things the right way, like putting stoppers for the seat tops and soft clothes hinges for the storage areas. - Tons of storage!! - perfect size…fits 3-4 comfortably on it (I have teenagers) - for that price, well worth it. I would highly recommend buying of this fits in your space and you need something like I did! Was not paid for this review, nor was given it for free, just a person who was struggling whether or not to buy this and could have used more info!

Great functional bench for my dining room with plenty of storage. Intermediate level of assembly. The construction is not as sturdy given that the two pieces are hooked together like two couch sectionals which is a little weak for such heavy wood components. Regardless, this item is good value for the money since there are pricier options for the same quality.

I really love this on the wall side of my dining table. Seats for adults very comfortably. Padding is very durable and comforting but it sold separately. It was time consuming to assemble but is very well made and sturdy. I really love the stories I'm able to put all my board games blankets and pillows as well as extra disposable plates cups and utensils for picnics and get togethers.

I love this. I was super nervous to order it, because I thought it might look cheap or feel unstable, but it looks and feels amazing. I put it together solo, so it is definitely possible, but I would strongly recommend having a second person on and just to help rotate it or push the two sides together, as it was not easy. Honestly, I feel like it was 100% worth it, and visitors love it.

Hope I remember to update with better pic. Don't have any without the kids so I removed them to post it which is why pic looks bad. The good: Looks very nice. Feels sturdy. Came undamaged with all pieces and fairly decent instructions if you know what you're doing. Was what we wanted. Kids love it. Spent more time in the dining room in one evening than we have in years. I do think this piece will last a long time. Easy to clean surfaces because of a very nice painted surface. Wood top is beautiful. Got the pillows which look nice: sewing is tidy/crispy. My kids want to eat, sleep, do homework, chat, do art and have friends over to this room because of this furniture. The bad: I've built a LOT of furniture. This felt like I may as well have built it from scratch myself. They didn't drill pilot holes? Some pieces had 2 of three drilled. Some none. Some were not pre-drilled well enough so the screws were very difficult to sink fully. Had to take it apart to drill those more. I mean, some of those problems may be due to the fact that it was ok quality wood but again, that's why you need the pilot holes! It was *almost* funny since the instructions specifically say to not use power tools. And, the hinge spring is a "No" from me. Installed it and the spring is so stiff that it just ripped right out of the (blessedly actually pre-drilled pilot holes) wood as I tried to close it. I quadruple checked that I had installed it in the correct position and orientation before I gave up. Obviously, it's now damaged in the inside now where it ripped out. You don't really need them though so I just threw my hands up and left those off. Listen, it looks great. For the money I spent I think I shouldn't have had to work so hard. Maybe for 200$? If I hadn't known what I was doing or if I didn't have a drill on hand so I could fix the pilot hole problem myself I probably would have cried. It's done now. I will enjoy it. But, if you buy this, you'll need power tools and a second pair of hands.

The Linon Harris bench nook is high quality solid wood. It does take some time to assemble. Our assembly team was mother, grandmother, and twin daughters. The nine year old girls were like engineers reading the directions and following the diagrams. It was a great learning opportunity for them. All pieces were well marked for easy identification. The amount of storage is a big plus. One bench was quickly filled with children's games, art supplies, and books. The other bench was for table linens with space to spare. A few decorative pillows for back support and a beautiful dining nook was complete.

The description says it is solid wood but there are many splits in the boards. The instructions are not overly clear and as far as flat pack furniture goes these are probably the worst I have ever seen. The top of one of the benches broke in two the first time we sat on it (hundreds of pounds below the listed weight limit). For clarity, the bench top was not one of the pieces that had visible splits before assembly as shown in my photos. Reached out to customer service for a replacement top (both called and emailed through their website template) with no response four days and counting. Garbage product and garbage service. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company!
