I ordered 2, 1 came heavily damaged but wayfair replaced it easy peasy. these are lovely end tables. there is a strong chemicalstain odor inside even after leaving open outside overnight so it would not be suitable for blanket storage unless aired out for a long period. there is no latch but i’ll be adding one. this is not an item for children to play with, as nothing hinders the lid from slamming shut while closing. very happy with my purchase.
