It's honestly as beautiful & sturdy as it looks. I'm never sure when ordering online. That's why I always read good & bad reviews to make sure it's what I need. This is one of my first "fancy/decorative" pieces of furniture, but it's also useful. It fits more than you think it would with such a small space. It probably couldn't fit more than one or two blankets, but great for other storage. I fit an entire tote bag of makeup in it when I moved & I could've fit more.
