Fabric is very soft, although the color is more of a cream, not a true bright white. The bench is easy to assemble: you only need to screw the legs in to the bottom, which can be done by hand without any tools. The bench did come with some light gray dirt markings on a few places, but was otherwise undamaged. Storage inside is 10 deep: just enough for a medium-weight blanket folded up, or a couple sets of sheets, but it would not fit a down comforter. Legs are 3.5 high, and the top of the seat with the legs installed is a little over one foot off the ground, so I would highly recommend ordering some taller legs to go with it. You can find furniture legs with dowel screws already installed, or buy them without and ask the folks at Home Depot to drill them in for you. I bought some 10 legs, and the bench is now the perfect height for me to sit and put my shoes on in the morning.
