This is a great bench for my bedroom accents.   The fabric is nice - the detail stitching on the bench seat makes it look more expensive than it is.  I was impressed by the extent to which they packaged this so as to ensure a safe trip.  Packaged in a box within a box and lots of protective wrap.  It was very easy to assemble.  I think it's adorable.  The color is darker than what's pictured on line and in fact I would call it more of a taupe vs gray...there is definitely a brown mixed in.
