Love this "bucket"  it is larger than a reg bucket...almost barrel size...perfect for by the fireplace..or a chair filled with yarns for knitting...(I bought it for just that...full of my yarn).  It is pretty, and yet has that "old" feel.  I am very happy with my purchase.

Pros: It is multi-purposeful...and decorative....easy to place in any room
Cons: only one I can think of ...is its' size.  it is bigger than what you might think of reg. bucket.
