I'm happy about the colour of the sea mist green shade cuz it isn't overly green.  It is a real linen fabric in a washed out, very pale sea foam green like the hue of a chambray denim shirt.  It is very sturdy and the perfect length for a queen size bed.  There is a bit of storage room for a throw and one spare set bed sheets.  I personally did not want a trunk-type full storage bench.  This is what I wanted,  more of a bench style with a little bit of storage.   You only have to screw on the legs, which is easy.  I recommend some cat scratch deterrent spray if you have a cat,  first night scratched the corner!!  Now broken in!!
