Looks just like the photo. Legs are dark espresso brown, top is milk chocolate. No assembly instructions...thank god for hubby!  Fits 6 pairs of my son's 9 1/2 size shoe. If you are fussy, the bench lacks quality finishing. No rubber or felt pads under feet. Screws are visible at both end panels, wood stain not finished at the cross bars on the end panels. See my pics. Zoom in for details.
