This bench is really sturdy and I was very pleased with the purchase. Color is just like the picture. Inside is roomy. I use it to store extra sheets and light blankets in my bedroom at the foot of my bed. It fits perfectly at the end of my king size bed. I sit on it to put shoes on, etc.....I have had it for about 3 yrs now and it is the same as the day I bought it. You do have to hold the seat panels up when you open them, wish they stayed up on their own but other than that great purchase. 

Pros: durable, color just as pictured, sturdy and well made
Cons: none
