I love the bench!  It took me less than 10 minutes to unpack it and put the legs on!  AND...it matches my new headboard that we previously purchased from another store perfectly; even my husband commented on how perfect it matched and how good it looks in the bedroom and he rarely notices anything I buy!  The storage part is large enough not only for my blankets, but also for my 3 1/2 year old great grandson to hid in - which he really likes to do!  I highly recommend this bench - we love it!
