This bench has a lot of character and will look nice in a beachhouse or farmhouse bedroom.  PROS: you can add locks to secure personal items inside.  Nice looking.  CONS:  mine arrived with some substantial denting. The metal latches are very sharp and I cut my leg while walking around the bench. The material on top is much darker than it appeared on website.  More of a dark sandy color than white or off white as pictured.
