We ordered this ottoman for the dual purpose of a storage unit and as a tableextra seatingottoman since it compliments the black tufted furniture we already have in the room. Nowhere near as sturdy as you’d think. It’s definitely good for storage but limited for sitting. I’m a petite person and don’t feel comfortable sitting on it long after assembling it and seeing how flimsy the inside of it is. Thus we use it strictly for storage. It does look nice and compliments the room and other similar pieces.
