We have a small area to take off shoes, etc and really needed to hide them!  Perfect solution, matches surrounding decor, lid stays open while to set items inside. I originally thought I'd have to attach a leather strap under the lid for ease of opening - but we don't have too, opens easily. Super comfy to sit on, rolls out nicely to clean around.

Pros: great value
Cons: Outside front padded front shows small bulges, looks as if a shoe is pushing out but it has a hard wall keeping shoes from pushing out - must be in the padding.
