The bench looks just like the picture. I ordered the ivory color and it is beautiful in our family room. It was easy to assemble and only took about 15minutes. The quality of the materials are sleek and sturdy. I would have given this item 5 stars but there were two stains on the bench. Nothing major but when purchasing a brand new item at full price you don’t want stains on it. All in all it’s a great product for a great price. You can literally put this piece in any area of your home.
