This storage bench is very dark coffee. I had to put on the feet, which was easy enough. I'm just disappointed in the darkness of it. It matches the picture however. I just realize, I, personally, think its too dark for my taste. It would have been the perfect opportunity for a pop of color, had I chose, say, cerulean, but and I went for the matchy-match. It kind of reminds me of a cup of coffee with swirls of chocolate. The floral part is the dark part and the background is slightly lighter. The quality appears good and it's very nice inside. The mechanism to hold it open works fine. The button top makes it look of a higher quality. It's, like I say, "handsome".
