This was an economical solution to an immediate storage problem. It looks very nice in the guest room and stores all the extra blankets and pillows and sheets with room to spare. I expect to move it to the patio when summer returns if I find a better long term solution to indoor storage. If I do not find a perfect guest room fit, this option may remain. 

Pros: easily assembled, attractive design
Cons: missing washers for lid installation, a few scratches to be buffed out on corners
