Bought this for my vacation cabin to replace a pine trunk which sat flat on the floor and looked OK but just didn't work for a family of tall people with long legs, just itching for a raised coffee table, not two wide or big, that could better suited to being able to fit your feet under. Looks great and not only happened to fit in with the decor updates we were doing, but much more comfortable and still allows for storage. Kept the pine trunk and put it upstairs for the kids who like to watch movies upstairs for the TV and to stream movies. Fits up there and adds more blanket storage. Win, Win for both rooms.
