I bought this product to store cushions for patio furniture.  It has good storage; not quite enough for what I needed, but larger than most.  I do like the storage tray on top for storing my garden gloves and small items.  It is sturdy enough for me to sit on it and use it as a bench.  Not sure how much it would hold since I'm a pettite person, but seems sturdy.  [...], was easy to assemble and overall I am very pleased.  For the price it is larger and better quality over others I looked at in that price range.  I would recommend it.
