Absolutely love the look of this storage bench! Had compared several on wayfair and finally settled on this one. Great price, colour, size and the look I was going for. The texture is a really soft velvet-like material. The colour is a true light silver grey. Really like the storage as well. I bought the Rhodes console (also from wayfair) and it fits perfectly underneath. It can be pulled out to access contents inside as well as sit on to put on shoes. The ottoman comes nicely wrapped and all that’s required is attaching the four legs (sturdy espresso-coloured plastic). The only thing is it takes some figuring out how to align the legs. I pulled up the product photos on the wayfair site and scrutinized them in order to figure out the correct way they should be attached. Once attached though, looked great!
