The storage is great.  I have the beige which I think is a different material than the others.  It like this material over the other colors.  Had to put some panels in the bottom as the base floor is just cardboard and I needed to put heavy stuff in it.  I have had it a year and it has held up nicely even with my 2 cats sleeping on it.  The buttons are deep so vacuum them often to keep them from gathering stuff, keeps the unit looking fresh!
