I bought this for my son to store his school stuff in to make it easier to know where everything is in the mornings (and also to use as a padded bench seat in the livingroom.) My son is almost 12, but small, and loves chilling and sleeping on it with a comfy blanket. I don't know why, but he finds it very comfortable for napping. I'm pleased with my purchase and hope it lasts a long time. I've had it a week.
