Bought this to use both as a bench and for blanket storage.
First things first / It does have a decent amount of storage capacity. I can fit 5/6 throws in this. YAY.
Now, things that you need to know: The linen cloth coverage is ridiculously thin and cheap feeling. It was already torn when we took it out of the box, and not from shipping. This was a wear through tear from being covered, period.
Three of the four standing legs went on fine. Theres even wedge/washers that can be threaded on to help balance it out. However, the last spot to screw a leg on I dunno know who prepped it but it was not their A game. Or B game. Or C game. They managed to place the screw slot and then nail the edging over it. FAIL.
So now my husband and I are looking at this thing, that I paid a little extra for, hoping for better quality and trying to decide if we should cut our losses and buy a new one. We did take the legs off and now we have a box with a pillow top. I cant call it sturdy / the sides are kind of thin. Id trust the under 10 crowd to be able to sit on it safely, but not an adult.
Im giving it 2 stars because it does do what I bought it for originally / which is to hold throws. I took off 1 star for the poor cloth quality, 1 star for the tear around the one corner and 1 star because we cant even get the legs on.
Long story short, PASS ON THIS.
Poor workmanship
