one of the nicest looking items I have bought from wayfair so far, it looks just as pictured. it very light, but solid at the same time. Good size for entry way or for a table in between 2 chairs, or even at the foot or a bed if you wanted. I ended up storing items in it that we don't use very often, some board games and some extra throw pillows, its perfect. the rustic look is great, so unique I didn't find anything else like it for the price anywhere else. Its not made for sitting on im sure but my kids do sit on it sometimes just fine to throw some shoes on. I love it ! =)
