I absolutely love this natural cedar chest! The piece isn't overly large, but perfect for storing many items (I am using mine for all of the extra blankets). It was well packaged and every piece taken care of in shipping so that nothing arrived broken, dented, etc. It smells amazing! This is real cedar and not made just to look like it. It was easy to put together and it is very solid and sturdy. The hardware is solid and the feet have plastic buttons on the bottom so it can slide across my hardwoods without scratching them. The top is thick enough for me to sit on without feeling at all that I'll break it. I love the natural tone - it works with my decor; it would be easy to change the look later on.
