This is a very nice looking and sturdy box, but for the purpose it is impractical.
It is NOT lined inside it’s just an empty wooden box so even light rain soaks it. I’m not entirely sure what it’s useful for because it does not keep the pillows dry. I have to put them in plastic inside the box, and the lid shuts very slowly as a self￼ which could be a problem with children who try to slam down the lid. It weathers like teak woutside, which I don’t find attractive with graying wood. I would prefer a more finished product that has an inner liner and seal so that it actually keeps the outdoor cushions dry lowering mechanism that cannot be overruled.
