I want to start this with, these need to be aired out prior to use. The smell was strong. Smelled like these where chopped and primed and shipped within minutes. After airing them out for about a week (smell was only noticeable if you put your nose to them). But these are great to keep in your living room, den or bedroom. I have the larger one and smaller ones in my den. The hold a throw blanket, the multiple remotes, and a few other miscellaneous item. In my bedroom, I keep the remotes, my reading glasses, and a few cords that I interchange with my charging cubes. Convenient held next to the bed and reduces clutter and unsightliness. These are a great and nice-looking addition.
