I was skeptical that these would be well made given the low price, but they ARE! There were a lot of similar item to choose from, and I basically just made a meny miny mo decision on which storage benches would be best for us in the Man Cave. These turned out to be perfect! They open and close nicely, are well upholstered and lined, well packaged for shipping, arrived dry even in a storm, and surprisingly light enough for me to carry inside and down a flight of stairs without assistance. They are just what we needed. Thanks!
