The storage bench is well made, spacious and Made in the USA!  (A definite selling point for me) There is NO odor as others have when you open the lid. The ONLY thing I would like see changed are the hinges, they could be piston type hinges and would be willing to pay the extra 10.00 it would cost. The price was right! Shipping..FedEx delivered the box and basically tossed on the cement walkway making a "thud". I would suggest the manufacture add some shipping foam to absorb the shocks that occur during transportation.  Over all, I would suggest this product to anyone interested in well made product! (PS.. our cats found a new sleeping place)
