I don't leave reviews  but I felt compelled to do so if this helps someone who is hesitant about shopping online. I can't tell you how happy I am with this purchase! The reviews were spot on! The item is well made and has a great feel to it! I am totally impressed! The colour was as described and has a soft open and close mechanism. I plan on using the storage bench in my entry way for shoes, so the interior is perfectly sectioned off to hold a total of 16 pairs of shoes. This bench came before the given deadline, and the only reason why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 (I think it is a 5 star item!) was that the feature about having text updates about the delivery did not work. I did not receive any texts, and I wanted to notify my apartment manager about it. Other than that, this was my first Wayfair purchase and I would be a repeat customer without a doubt!
