We use this as a toy box for our girls to store toys in the living room. It's child safe with a slow closing lid, and it's an unassuming piece of furniture that doesn't take away from our living room decor.

Pros: nice quality
Cons: The child safe slow closing lid is great, but it has a tendency to slowly close on it's own, but very softly. Sometimes when the girls are searching for a toy at the bottom the box lid creeps down. It isn't a danger, but it aggravates them at times.
