I love these little benches. I ordered two. I wanted something unique for my bedroom to put dirty clothes in, instead of a eye sore laundry basket. These benches work well for what I have ordered them for. However, they do not hold weight well. They crack if something heavy is placed on top or even sitting on them. I read a earlier review before my order that a girl of 160 lbs sat on her bench and it cracked on the top portion. I also read of the smell these benches have, but I left mine to air out and the smell is not too bad. Theses benches are smaller than I expected but I also didn't do the work of checking the measurements before placing the order. All in all I give five stars because it serves the purpose in which I purchased them for and the depth inside is more that I seen on the picture.
