Quality isn’t bad and it has lots of storage space. Lid seems sturdy enough to be a seat however it’s arched, so it can’t hold a cushion and isn’t comfortable. One big issue if you use this for anything near kids, the lid has a plastic strip to keep the lid from falling back too far, but if you open the lid and let go before it’s settled, it will snap back and close on you. We have some backyard toys stored in it and our toddler opened it up and reached in for a toy and the lid closed on him, smashing his head. Luckily he didn’t throw it open with force, so it didn’t bounce bad with significant force to cause serious injury, but it hurt pretty bad and left bruises. We saw it coming but no one was close enough to grab it in time. I recommend taking off that strap or installing a stopper.
