It is a nice little bench. I like the carving on it. It doesn’t hold a lot. I have four 18x18” pillows in it for reference. The fabric on the cushion is kind of cheap feeling and I plan to recover it. (It shouldn’t be too hard because the pad seems to be secured with screws on the underside of the lid.) I do need to remove the cushion  just to remove the plastic that is still attached under the cushion because I just cannot pull it all out.   I did notice there is some chipping where the screws attaching the cushion have hit the underside on the top of the chest. I need to get some rubber feet to attach to the lid so that doesn’t happen and make things worse. Overall though, it is a cute little storage chest/bench.
