I love everything about my storage bench!  It looks proportional at the end of my king bed and it is tall enough to easily sit down on to put on shoes.  While the color is darker than I thought it would be, it still adds just another lovely shade of ivory/cream to my white/cream bedroom color scheme.  I haven't attempted to store anything in it yet, but it appears deep enough to store blankets and maybe 2 pillows.  Thanks, Wayfair.com for a great product.
