We love this bench! Aesthetically pretty at the end of our king sized bed without overpowering our tufted platform centerpiece. It was super easy to put together -- just make sure you have all of the cross bars and center bar already positioned. The grey is a nice medium (not too light or dark) grey color that matches several motifs.  

My only negative is that the cushion/padding is not very comfortable. It is a bit hard for my taste but I figure for the price, this purchase can't be beat! It's functional, aesthetically pleasing and lightweight.
