This item was everything I wanted in a storage bench:  ample room, contemporary wood color of feet, good design,  BUT it is NOT gray, it is blue and did not at all go with the many shades of gray in the room for which it was purchased.   Buyer Beware:  Return shipping cost $75 on a $172 bench because person who labeled this item was color blind. I have nowhere in my home where a blue bench would complement decor--- otherwise I would not have eaten $75 for their mistake.
