This is a pretty and solid piece. I needed more storage for blankets and linens, and this is deep enough to fit 6 of my puffier blankets. The colour is a very light ivory beige and doesnt quite match my other beige furnishings. The seat is firm and the top pops open easily. The only disappointing thing is the material is very sensitive and my cat has already created a few pulls in the fabric, so its probably best for a no-cat home. Either way, it serves it purpose and still looks nice.
