First I will say you get what you pay for, in this instance I feel I got a little more. I purchased this to put in my bedroom for seating and a little extra storage. My plan is to make a slipcover for it as it does not match the colors in my bedroom I knew that when I bought it but I feel I got a very good price, it is a very sturdy piece of furniture and I feel that it will last a long time therefore I got my moneys worth and I'm very happy with my purchase.
