Love this bench. Fits all 3 of my kids (5, 3, 1) shoes plus a few pairs of my husband’s and my sneakers. The tufted too makes this piece look expensive. It’s also nice and sleek looking, not as big and bulky as other upholstered storage benches I’ve seen. I got the mixed gray color. It’s a very nice neutral taupe...not too gray and not beige.
