This is really nice. The style is just what I was looking for. I purchased it for my husband to sit and put his shoes on to keep them from getting scattered all over the house. This is working great. Its sturdy and the storage underneath is perfect for his shoes. The only tiny issue is that the faux leather used to upholster the cushion has a little fold in it after several uses. I think if it was real leather this would not have happened. Other than that I am completely pleased. I give it 4.5 stars.
