I got this bench for the end of my bed and it is very pretty.  I love the length of it which is perfect for my queen sized bed.  It really adds a touch of class to my bedroom and makes me smile when I see it.  It's pretty hard but I don't mind because I mostly just use it to hold clothes when I am doing laundry.  The fabric is lower quality which is why I gave it 4 stars.  Also, I would describe the color as more of a sea foam because it is more green then blue.
