GREAT! Looks just as pictured.  Very useful piece. As our cottage is on the small side, w/o a formal entrance, right now this cutie is being used inside the front door for putting on shoes/boots.  If we rearrange the living room, it might be a coffee table.  The piece itself is sturdy, hinges are stronger than expected and loads of storage space.  Fabric on top is neutral w/a slight texture.  I'm a pretty patience shopper.  I'll wait until I find just the right piece and this storage bench fills the bill.  Delivery was quick, delivery person pleasant and the bench was packed properly.  Definitely recommend!
