I love the style and capacity of this bench. The top is nicely cushioned and the fabric is soft to the touch. The color is a nice light neutral beige, darker than cream or ivory but lighter than tan. However, I knocked off a star because the fabric frayed a tad on one of the bottom corners just from flipping it over and then rolling it upright to attach the legs. For the price I can’t get overly concerned but I don’t imagine that it will withstand too much abuse.
