This is a beautiful storage bench.  It is solid and very well made.  I bought the grey and white checked, I will put it at the end of our bed in our new cottage bedroom.  I plan to  store the bed linens in it as the bench has a beautiful liner in it.  The check on the bench is a beautiful grey check and the white check is more of a very very soft ivory.  The bench is very heavy and the padding and the covering is very nice.  The shipping was very quick and the bench was very safely packed.  Thank you Wayfair you did it again!!!!!!!        J.C.
