This is a great storage unit for patio or any other area needed to store items. It is nice looking. The bottom drawer is large. The wicker is nice. It's best for items that have a wider bottom or are soft as things like glasses or with a narrow bottom wouldn't stand up well on the wicker. We use the drawer to store outside shoes and the shelves for pool/dog towels, cushions/pillows, etc. since we haven't had it long, not sure how it will hold up.
