This was exactly what i was looking for to use as a coffee table in my living room. It is a great color, excellent quality for the price and lots of room for storage.  It is pretty heavy and sturdy piece of furniture.  I wanted it to double as extra seating if we had a lot of company over, but it only holds 80 lbs.  All together i could not be happier with the purchase! It is darker than the picture, but I read other people's reviews before purchasing and was expecting that.
