I LOVE this bench!  It's PERFECT!  Moving into a smaller space and needing more storage.  Works great and the dogs also use it to get up on the bed without having to jump a big distance.  Pretty design.  No weird smell (I saw reviews about that) doesn't smell at all and super easy to assemble.  Put the legs on the bottom and you're good to go.  I've stood on it without an issue (5'6" and 130 pounds).
