This works perfect for what I wanted it for! Its a little smaller than I thought, even though I did read the dimensions I thought it was a little taller, however it fits my extra blankets and pillows well. Its very sturdy, I can sit on it to put my shoes on. I am quite small though so I had my roommate sit on it also who is over 6 ft 250 lb and it was fine!

Just for reference, this is a queen size bed.
