I selected this bench in Diva Driftwood, which is a "greige" (grey-beige).  The neutral color blends seamlessly with our existing decor, and the width & height are just right in proportion to our king-size bed.  The height is also great for putting on / taking off shoes, and for helping our senior fur-babies to get on & off the bed...which is the main reason I went looking for a bench...and it's much more polished than pet stairs!

Pros: Easy assembly, neutral style & colors, scaled for king-size bed
