I got these because my baby is starting to crawl and I needed something lightweight for moving, making more room in the livingroom if necessary. It has storage for my million pillows when guests come over (fits 3 medium ones) to make more room on the couch, and matches my overall look. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because they ARE really lightweight. So I have to be careful with the baby pulling himself up on them and not bump into them with beverages on top.
