I bought this mainly to store shoes and for extra seating in a pinch for our great room. It came in a ton of pieces and even the baskets needed to be assembled. My husband is excellent at assembling things and he said it was a pain. It looks nice overall now that it's done, but the cushion is a bit cheap-looking. I will probably end up reupholstering it in a nicer fabric and try to give it some heft. It wasn't bad enough to return because we won't be using it heavily, but not a great purchase.
