We ordered ours in black. It's a lovely understated piece that fits perfectly in our foyer. It's a little smaller than I imagined, but big enough for several pairs of shoes and long enough for three little people to sit at same time, although it probably isn't strong enough for three adults. The baskets are collapsible. They're tucked in the box, lying flat which I didn't realize at first..(helps if you look at the directions first). The bottom panel pops out easily from the baskets, which is sort of a pain, but once weighted down it probably won't be a problem. This is why 4 instead of five stars. The bench was easy to put together. I wish I had waited a few days to get this on sale though. I could have saved $25. Highly recommend.
