I was really surprised to see my package arrived in a timely manner. It was a bit difficult to open the box but I got it open. I was even more surprised how beautiful the bench was in person. I chose gray with black feet as I was attaching the feet...I noticed the lining would gather up slightly as I twisted them on. Easy to assemble and I just love looking at it. Its worth it. The picture above is the bench against a queen size bed frame.
