We bought this item to store our children's toys in the living room.  We choose the dark brown color and it is nice.  Only complaint is the stickers to cover the screws don't match the color so well and are easily peeled off by a toddler.  This cubby is big enough to store some of their larger toys in the cubby spots and the blocks, etc go in the fabric drawers.  We have had this furniture in our LR for about a year and it has held up well to toddler play - hitting of toys and even sitting the drawers.  It has held up great and we couldn't have asked for a better price.
