The top of this ottoman is a soft and thick cushion so it works for either putting your feet up or sitting on it.  Easy to assemble, just unfold the bottom into the box shape.  On mine, the vinyl doesn't stretch super tight around the sides, so it's a tiny bit baggy in places, but nothing major.  For the reasonable price, I can certainly live with it.  I ordered the navy, which is a true navy blue, not so dark that it looks black.
