Excellent for   storing my toddler’s current toys (without cramping my style and used under adult supervision ), seating at the extended dining table, foyer seatingcoffee tablestorage, or in the living room for extra guest.  Beautiful blue color.  Transitional, tradition, or farm house style.  Sturdy and seating is firm.  The lid doesn’t fall down and will stay open, can’t store things too high under the hinges or it won’t close. Holes at the bottom provide air or prevent vacuum.  Multi user for a townhouse! I love it!
