Looked long and hard for this bench!  It is exactly what I wanted as far as size, appearance and function. It is just the right size for the end of our king size bed. I wanted a bench that would be large enough and long enough to store lots of stuff. The gray color has an undertone of tan so it blends perfectly with the beige carpets and gray walls. It was very easy to assemble - just screw on the 4 legs. It is sturdy enough that 2 of us sat on it without fear. It is a sharp looking piece of furniture and so practical as well. Do not regret my purchase at all.
