I purchased this since we have initiated a shoe-free home. Our kids loving coming in and placing their shoes in a basket. I ordered the gray washed version. I don't see much of a gray in mine at all and almost wish I ordered the all gray one. The baskets were not very easy to assemble and two of mine has the wicker coming apart in places. It is a heavy and functional piece though for the price.  I threw some decorative pillows along the back and it looks great!
