This bench is beautiful and perfect for what I got it for. It is short but I knew that when I read the information on the site and it doesn't bother me at all because of where it sits at the end of my bed. I just love it! The only thing that would make it better is if the  inside was a bit deeper but its not bad. I'm thinking it'll hold at least 5 or 6 blankets. Overall, I am so happy with this purchase.
