I've be looking for something like this for several years and happened on it in error and so glad I did! I wanted something besides plastic to store the patio furniture covers in when not in use. This is low and narrow and has already doubled as coffee table AND an ottoman. The bottom is a large open weave allowing for air flow. You cannot sit on it, it cannot be used for seating. The bonus for me is that it's perfect color and weave match to my current patio furniture. I plan to add a faux flower arrangement for a pop of color when it sits behind the loveseat. Very Happy!
