This bench is surprisingly well build. Very easy to assemble. I put it at the foot of my king sized bed and it does not look too small. The color is a nice charcoal grey. The fabric is rough, and unfortunately that means my cat thinks it is a scratching post.  The storage compartment is small, but enough for an extra blanket or pillow.

Overall, it is a nice bench. Good for catching my clothes and sitting while I put on my shoes. 

Pros: sturdy, visually appealing
Cons: rough fabric, small storage area
