The color description wasn't quite right... when I saw that the box said "Greige" I knew it wasn't going to be exactly what I wanted. I needed something that was more on the warm side but it's pretty light and more of a cool grey/beige. I love the style and size of this bench so I'm keeping it. It's really solidly constructed and came fully assembled so all I had to do was pull it out of the box and put it in it's spot in the living room. The storage area is a nice size- plenty of room for some pillows and a few blankets! It'll also be fabulous for extra seating. Overall, I like it!
