We were looking for something to place under the window in our bedroom that could be used for storing pillows and throws. This fit the bill!  The color and size are perfect!  We can use it for seating since the cushion was included.  This is a sturdy chest.  No assembly was required.  We just had to unpack the box and screw on the legs. The chest was packaged extremely.  There were two wooden supports, one one the bottom and one on the top, that prevented the box from collapsing.  The entire chest was encased in styrofoam wrapped in plastic to prevent any damage.  We are very happy with our purchase.
