I LOVE this ottoman!  It's the perfect height to put your feet up or to sit on.  Also, the storage area perfectly fits 3-4 blankets (or whatever toys my kid decides to put in there).  The color is lovely and will hide any dirt.  Overall, I highly recommend it!  Putting together was a breeze, all you had to do was screw the legs in.  It doesn't get any better than that!
