This is a perfect bench for the bedroom! I have a queen sized bed and it fits across the foot of the bed very nicely. When it first arrived there was a strong odor in the storage space but after letting it air out for a week or so this dissipated. It feels very sturdy when you sit down on it and has a ton of storage space inside for extra blankets and pillows. It's a lovely cream color and has a nice linen texture to it. My cat is a big fan of it as well and uses it as a step to get up and down from the bed.
