I bought this to put on my porch so that I can sit there or lie down while I watch my daughter play her outdoor toys. It's also good for visitors who have to remove their shoes before coming inside my home. I like that its foldable and light. However, in order for me to feel comfortable enough, I have to have a cushion to sit or lie on. Other than that, this is a good sturdy bamboo bench and definitely worth its price!
