We are extremely happy with our purchase. We have been able to store our patio furniture pillows that consist of 6 for the couch, 2 for the chair, 1 for the automan and 2 decorative pillows. We do recommend adding calking to the base to ensure no water gets in as well as adding some base to lift it off the deck or ground. Otherwise, we are confident no water, raccoons and other critters will get in (racoons are our biggest concern). We wouldve loved for it to be even larger to accommodate our 4 love seat cushions, but still happy with our purchase. As others have mentioned it does take an hour to put it together and thats if you have a drill.
