I have looked at several furniture stores. For a storage bench, for the foot of my bed. The cost of what benches that I came across were so high in price, and the quality of some of them was great. But however some of great quality, was not, in all that I saw. When I came across this bench on Overstock.com I thought about it for a while, before I actually made the decision to order it. I was not sure if I wanted the brown or the black . I finally made the decision, to order the black one. Due to the fact, that black matches everthing. WOW, I am so glad that I did order this unit. This Storage Bench is the Same quality that I seen at stores for double and three times more the cost. This is a perfect fit at the foot of my bed. I have a full size bed and it is almost as wide. and almost as tall. The depth of the bench is perfect to. It fits two, standard size pillow shams, with pillows in them. And four throw pillows as well. When not in use. It keeps the mess off the floor when I just don't feel like making the bed. I'm sure you know what I mean by that. Sometimes we just get lazy and don't feel like making the bed. This bench is by far the best item that I have purchased from the O. If you are looking for the perfect storage bench. Stop looking, and buy this one. You will not regret it. I would bet, that you would like to put one of these benches, at the foot of every bed in your home. Once you get one, You just might get more. This bench, is a must buy!
