This upholstered storage bench is roomier than expected, and coordinates perfectly with my tastefully simple grey and cream bedroom decor. Assembly will require some finessing, but it sure looks good when you're done. I modified the instructions, and found that starting the assembly with top %26 bottom hooks on each piece, instead of all three, worked better. I was able to assembly the bench myself, but a second person assisting is definitely recommended. One last observation - the front fabric was a little puckered at first. Several weeks later now, that seems to be slowly smoothing out. Despite assembly logistics, I found this storage bench roomier than I expected and I'm very pleased with it.
