This is perfect at the end of our four poster bed! Unlike most benches, it has arms so the pillows stay on, and the extra storage under the top is a bonus surprise. Though its not a ton of room, I can keep a blanket in there for cooler nights. Love the black velvet and decorative nail brads. This was a perfect match for the Feldt 40.6 wide tufted velvet Chesterfield chair in our bedroom too.
