This piece is exactly what I needed for the end of my bed! It provides the extra storage for bedding that isn't available in the house, and is much roomier on the inside than expected.  It came fully assembled, so setup after unwrapping was a breeze! The hinges work well and the lid stays open until you're ready for it to be closed.  Also, the padding on the top of the bench is nice and soft, so it's enjoyable to sit on while putting on socks and shoes.
