Easy to assemble, roomy inside, longer than some others I looked at, so it works well at the foot of our bed.  The "tufting" is really just a recessed spot, looks glued rather than sewn, so I'm not sure how that will hold up. the bench is sturdy, great for sitting on to put on shoes, etc. MIne is gray ultra-suede type fabric, color true to description. Very satisfied, hope it holds up.
