Exactly as described. I don't have a mudroom, so I store our shoes in it close to the exterior door. Perfect height for sitting on to put shoes on, and the dark gray is modern and neutral. I like the clean lines with no fussy details (like nail-heads), but the minimal tufting adds to the design. It is also lightweight making it easy to move (for 2 people), so you can clean under it. Although lightweight, it is not flimsy. It feels great to sit on and the material is holding up well. For the price I am absolutely impressed. It is the neatest way to store shoes (or whatever else you want). It would also look great at the end of the bed. The top hinge is working well and holds up in place until you push to close. I did my research and I am 100% happy with the results.
