These are beautiful and look and feel sturdy. I have gloves, hats, slippers and excercise eqipment inside. My mom and sisters and niece walked in and couldn't believe the transformation. They loved these and we might get one for my mom for Christmas. Great experience and our wonderful FedEx guy brought them inside. I could attach the legs myself and these were ready to go. I thought they might be white but are more of a medium grayish or natual color. Great first experience ordering from Wayfair. Washable blue rug is "Ellentraud" from Wayfair.
