Works great.  Very nice and sturdy. Only thing that I didnt think of is the hinges on the inside lid go down deeper than the cover does. So, even though it IS 15 inches high (i believe), on the ends of the ottoman, it may be about 11-12 inches. We are storing records in our ottoman and the 12 inch records will not fit the first inch or 2 inside. No biggie, just put our 7 inches on the ends. But, worth noting if you need the full 15 inch clearance the entire span of the ottoman..
