I ordered this bench in antique denim and it is very clearly solid black. While it still coordinates with my decor, it is definitely not the color pictured. I didn’t want to go through the trouble of re-boxing and returning this item. I’m giving two stars because the color is not even remotely as pictured, I don’t have the time to repackage and return this item,  and there were no written directions included in the box (I figured out the construction as best I could).
