2 stars for the good looks. Certainly NOT good as a storage chest for anything over 5 lbs, evenly distributed. The bottom is made from a flimsy piece of plywood, not even 18 in thick, supported by 2 pieces of wood. Beware, the QA is NOT correct in claiming it can carry 200-500 lbs(!!) - maybe when you sit on it but not inside. Good for storing a couple of pillows. I have not installed the bottom plywood, as my sewing machine would go straight through it, see photo.
