Badger Basket Kids Toy Storage Bench with Removable Cushion & 3 Fabric Bins - Espresso Finish | Organizer for Playroom, Bedroom, Nursery | Sturdy Seat with Storage for Toys, Books & Clothes

My wife and I have a toddler who is amassing quite the collection of toys. So many, they're overrunning the family room. We have storage bins that we've been putting them in, but they're piling up and we don't like how our family room looks with all these bins laying around.So we looked for other storage measures. We bought one solution with shelves and colorful bins, but took that back to the store. It looked ridiculous in the family room. I then began researching other options. We spent time on Amazon going through every possible storage solution we could find. It was during this search that we bumped into the Badger storage bench with built-in baskets.It arrived today and it's everything we hoped it would be in the pictures on Amazon. It fits perfectly in our family room and actually matches the other furniture in the room. The storage bins are a nice size and soft to the touch. There are no sharp corners on the storage baskets that might injure our child. Baby can easily walk up to it and pull out a basket to reach his toys. There are no hinged tops or areas for his little fingers to get hurt. The top is made of a good inch or more of simulated leather-covered foam that is soft and cushiony. It's very comfortable to sit on. It's low to the floor, so our little boy can sit on it when he gets a little bigger. In fact, our friends and family can sit on it during parties and other gatherings. The manufacturer recommends 200lbs or less on the seat. I'm 195lbs and the top felt very solid to sit on. I don't feel any slack or give to the assembly; it's very solid.The assembly process was really quite straight forward. Usually I assemble any furniture we purchase that requires it, but today my wife actually assembled it herself. And my wife is Chinese; English is a second language to her. She told me it was the first thing like this she ever assembled, so rest assured, with some patience along with the assembly instructions, there's no reason to be intimidated about assembling the bench.We're absolutely thrilled to have found a functional storage solution that not only looks great in our family room but also doubles as another area for people to sit and relax. It looks attractive and holds a nice quantity of reasonably-sized toys. It can be used for anything that fits in each basket, so as our child grows, we can store linens, bed spreads, magazines, etc. in the storage baskets.Stylish, functional, and comfortable, it's a storage solution worthy of consideration.
