I was nervous about buying this bench but it totally lived up to my expectations. It's a stunning piece that has become the center of our living room. The dark blue color is very rich and luxurious. Not to mention the practical aspects - I bought it to house toys for my toddler, and it fits a ton of them. The dividers work perfectly to organize the toys as well, and I like how they are removable. Also the hinge that opens the bench is really well-made and the whole thing seems very sturdy. I am so happy with my purchase!
