I bought this for an elderly relative who moved into assisted living. It sits at the end of her bed to use when she needs to quick sit while putting on her shoes. It holds a thick blanket and a throw, plus photo albums (with extra room for a little box of cups and napkins) to keep the room uncluttered. The bonus is the tray! We move it in front of her mini couch when visitors come. It works perfectly for drinks and snacks while she entertains. Very good quality for the price! I recommend this item.
