Love this piece! It feels/looks very industrial. The top is made of sturdy wood, and the metal is insanely strong. Reminds me of an antique locker. The top is a little hard though, so if someone is planning on sitting on in for quite a long while, I'd recommend putting a pillow or thin pad on top (I don't since it's at the foot of a bed, and no one sits there for long enough for it to be an issue). Overall, I'm super excited to have purchased this piece.
