These are fantastic for hallway storage & seating. Good fabric. Cat has scratched item several times but it is hard to notice as long as you trim off the strings from the fabric at the top. Storage is being used for power drill / hardware and for kid art - when a bin gets full, it’s time to go through the art but at least there is no more piling up of art projects when the kids get home from school - the paper goes into the bench, out of sight. The orange fabric is a lovely rusty color.
