Love the look of the bench. I knew it was plastic, so it doesn’t bother me that it is advertised as “woven” because it still looks classy, just bigger in person. The only downside is that the compartment lid does not come up easily. There are instructions on the top, but this was purchased for our packages to be hidden on our porch (our delivery person actually kind of made us buy something like this). But it really does not open without using two hands and if it is not closed properly, it can scratch the arms of the bench since they are in the way when it is partially opened. (You have to pull out the lid towards you before lifting up, then do the same in reverse to close). I wish the lid was easier to maneuver... because my parcels have not made it inside the bench (I’m assuming it was too tricky to open).
