Smaller than I expected and the base is like those storage cubes that fold down. For the price I paid I'm happy with it. I was concerned it wouldn't support weight if I tried to sit on it but it seems to hold my weight just find. I won't sit on it for too long though. I just sit on it to put my shoes on. The color is a little off. I got the light grey and it's a little more blue than expecting but I don't mind it. I am happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend others purchase this if you are looking for a simple cheap storage solution.
