I am using this chest in a casual living room as a coffee table. I have a wooden tray on it to hold drinks and magazines, and I store blankets and pillows for the sleeper sofa in it. It has a coating on it to weatherise it, and since I'm using it inside I would prefer it be natural wicker, but it looks fine. And who feels your coffee table, anyway? A g Rest option for anyone needing extra storage. It also has a system so it closes slowly and won't slam down on fingers.
