We actually have it at the end of our King size bed and it looks great. It is very sturdy and  looks expensive. No problem sitting down to put on my socks and shoes. It is very convienent but also ads class to our bedroom. It does have a small storage area and the color is Tan not Taupe. Has a little more gold than taupe but not a lot.

Pros: Looks and sturdiness
Cons: None
