This is my fifth purchase of a folding storage cube like this...it is very sturdy and serves several purposes.  I use it as a foot stool, a place to sit to put on my shoes, and it also serves as a great storage place to contain clutter...magazines, books, and many other items.  We started out with three of these in our motor home (one small and two large ones) because they collapse for transit.  In the RV, we use two as a coffee table/foot stool and the other as a storage chest in the bedroom...we now we have two in the house...LOVE THEM...!!!!
