Ordered the navy blue, and as other reviewers have stated, the blue is darker than pictured, but it's a great color.  Efficiently holds a lot of shoes using the enclosed dividers, and I can fit 2 pairs of shoes in each section.  The tufted top is firmly padded and feels like it should hold up well.

Rating this as four stars because the bench was received with a defective hydraulic lifter.  It was stuck in the open position, and somewhere between the factory and delivery the actual hinge was pulled out by the bolts, and the hinge bolt holes were all stripped.  Therefore the lid would not close straight, and one hinge was completely detached.  The photo shows the closed bench and defective hinge. 
 
However, Wayfair promptly replaced it and the replacement unit is perfect, thus a 5 star rating despite the aggravation.
