Item is being used as a coffee table/ottoman. The size is perfect for my room dimensions. Constructed sturdy enough for use as a table however, I do not feel it would be wise to use as added adult seating. Would be ideal to add a glass top for beverage glass stability. Arrived quickly. Giving it a 4 out of 5 stars only because the color was not as light as pictured. I was a bit disappointed at first however, it still compliments my mildly "coastal theme" family room. A lot of look for the price. Didn't have to think twice. Ultimately I am very happy with the purchase!
