Great length and depth as I was looking for a longer bench to maximize seating and storage.  It could comfortably sit 2-3 people for when we entertain.  The lid opens easily and stays open, which is important to me since I have 2 very young children (no finger pinching).  I was able to fit 5 various sized blankets in half and kids toys in the other half, score!  To me, the color resembles a dark gray with a slight blue hue up really close (I ordered the indigo color).  Further away it looks dark gray to me, especially since it's a few feet from our black sofa, so it's definitely far more gray than blue.  Assembly was super easy.  Twist the legs on and <BAM> it was ready to go.
