We use this in our bedroom as a seat and to store sheet sets and duvets. I have around 7 sets of sheets and 4 king size duvets sets, and it houses them without issue. The leather is nice and firm, without being overly hard or stiff like cheap leather, as well as smooth. The stitching detains great workmanship. When you open the lid, you'll be impressed with the lining and the quality of the lining's workmanship. The hinge is also impressive. It never slams shut, even even holds the lid open when it's at less than 45 degrees.
It's shipped as one solid piece, so no hassle putting it together. I managed to haul it up the steps without my husband so it's not heavy.
I hesitated buying such an item online, but I'm so glad I bought this. I can't recommend it more.
