This bench is identical to the picture on the Internet   Definitely on the blue side with just enough distressing to not be over done  I  agree with another reviewer who stated the inside storage area does have a slight earthy type odor. I put one of those  odor absorbing containers that have the little gel beads inside bought from a local grocery store and it seems to have done the trick.   I'm now able to store a blanket or two inside with confidence. 

Pros: Perfect entryway bench two people can sit on plus storage area
Cons:  Does have a slight musty odor at first
