I LOVE THIS AS AN ACCENT PIECE IN MY BEDROOM SINCE EVERY OTHER PIECE OF FURNITURE IS GRAY.  IT IS MORE OF A ROYAL BLUE.  THE STORAGE INSIDE IS NOT THAT DEEP.  BUT, IT IS DEEP ENOUGH FOR SHEETS BECAUSE I CHANGE MINE OFTEN!  THE HINGES ARE PRE INSTALLED AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ATTACH THE LEGS.  THE TOOL TO ATTACH THEM IS INCLUDED!  TOOK TEN MINS!
