BTW, this color is more of a "cool gray" than a "light blue." I made sure to look at the pictures posted by others. (Either color would have worked for me).  The piece was well protected by the packaging in which it arrived.  All I had to do was to put the legs on it.  This bench is the PERFECT size to go at the foot of a twin bed!  That was my goal.  Nowadays, when you can't flip mattresses, only rotate them, having an alternate place to sit to put on shoes etc. helps extend the life of the mattress.  And, of course, the extra storage is great!   (Wayfair makes everything so easy!!)
