I have been adding wicker pieces to my back deck lately. This storage chest blends perfectly with other items I have. It comes in navy or gray woven blend. I chose the gray because it is very neutral. This is the perfect size to store towels, sun care items, toys, etc... in my pool area without taking up a ton of space. The hinged lid works perfectly smooth when raised or lowered. The description does mention that this chest can be used as a coffee table or seating space. While it is well made and sturdy I feel like it is not meant for sitting on. The woven top feels a little flimsy to hold a lot of weight. It would probably be better with a cushion on top though. I will use mine as a table rather than a bench. My porch is not covered but so far this doesn't seem to be bothered by a bit of rain or sunshine. I will definitely store is inside over winter months. It is easily cleaned with a damp cloth. The top is lined inside so towels don't even get wet inside. Assembly was fairly straight forward. I did have to back track once because the directions in one step didn't quite make sense to me.

Sturdy and goes with any wicker set. Great value. Easy assembly

so beautiful
