Very happy with this bench. It sits beautifully in front of my kind sized bed. The assembly was incredibly easy - just screw on the legs - although you can tell the hardware is a bit cheap and flimsy. I will probably replace the legs at some point so they are sturdier. The grey is definitely more of a silver with a bit of sheen to it. Very nice tufting and thrilled to find a bench like this under $200. Would recommend.
