Love this bench.  Very sturdy, lots of room inside and a bit classier than the most.  Just be aware if you have a cat that likes to scratch, they will pull the fabric on this pretty easily.  I used the sticky paws tape and broke the habit and the good news is that the tape didn't damage the fabric or further pull any of the threads.  Also it is a true grey colour.  I was worried that it may be a bit to blue but nope, pure grey.
