Works perfectly for my teens bedroom.  She currently is using the seating bench storage to keep her bathing suit options all together.  No running around trying to locate tops and bottoms, we can keep them all together. The bench storage area is not a deep as anticipated, originally wanted to keep a few throw blankets in there, but the one we chose did not exactly fit to allow for the seat to close.  All in all it is sturdy and looks great with her bedroom furniture, we purchased it in white.
