Does it look nice? Yes. Does it serve it's purpose as a visually appealing storage bench? Yes. But it is also a flimsy piece of crap. I have a platform bed so I don't have a footboard. I can't even get it to stay against the foot of the bed because every movement of the duvet sends it moving. People have complained about the color not matching the picture and although that's true I think it looks nicer in person. For what I paid I'm not going to complain.
