I love this chest so much I have two, one at home and one at my vacation house. It was easy to assemble and is sturdy enough to sit on. It looks high-end and is the perfect size for storing blankets and sheets. It also closes softly so there's no danger of the top slamming on a child's hand. I love that my sheets and blankets come out smelling like cedar, even after months of being stored. As an aside, the vacation house is in the woods so I needed blanket storage that would repel bugs,because honestly, who wants to sleep with spiders or have their blankets eaten by moths? Cedar is a natural repellent for insects, and I have never seen any type of bug in the chest.  If you want great-looking extra storage, I highly recommend this chest.
