The bench is lovely, looks exactly like the picture. Bought the  black and it is just perfect at the foot of the bed. Instructions easy to follow and bench is very sturdy. Just one slight problem, one of  small reinforcing cross bracing in bottom of bench was broken in half, on arrival. Will just replace with same size piece. Still gave five stars, because it was so well packaged with the legs and bolts inside the bench and easiness to set up
