I bought this for my sons preschool to replace the one that broke. It has been nice so far. My only complaint it that it is a storage bench but once put together there are notches on the back side that bugs can get in, so far not water, but we were hoping to use it to store towels for wiping down slides and we aren't sure if we can. Also the lid/bench seat, is not actually attached at all, just slides into place which I know is proving bothersome to the assistant teacher.
