I purchased this chest for a laundry receptacle for our bathroom/bedroom area. It looks perfect in the space. The chest is sturdy enough to sit on. This chest would also make a great place for blanket or bulky item storage. We are most pleased with this purchase. If I had a criticism, it would be that the screws show. If the manufacturer provided screw covers it would make the appearance of the chest more attractive. All in all, I am well pleased.
