This bedroom storage bench works perfectly for our bedroom. The height of the seat was the exact height of our footboard and the color is perfect. Seems sturdy as well. To be honest, I bought this primarily to provide lower access for our Boston Terrier to jump onto our bed. Looks a lot nicer than a set of dog steps, plus it has storage. But it is also great for humans - makes it easier to put on pants or tie shoes. Definitely recommend!
