It was perfect at the foot of my bed. Love the styl, color and fabric. My only wish would be that its overall height was 4-6 inches more with a deeper chest. That would have made it look better since my foot board is rather tall. The bench itself is a wee bit low to sit for my 5-5 ft tall self. But still comfortable enough to get my sox shoes on. It would be way too short for anyone taller than that I think.
