Love love love this bench. It looks beautiful and it has spacious amount of storage inside (we ditched the blanket baskets and threw 7 blankets in here!) And it feels solid to sit or lay on. My dogs love it too because now they have a perch to stare at the sidewalk and bark at our neighbors walking by :) It's an excellent, solid furniture piece. The boucle looks great and it's a good ivory color (no yellow tones!!) So glad I bought it!
