This ottoman exceeded my expectations in color and quality. It's tailored and sophisticated. Never mind the storage! I fit two standard pillows and two puffy comforters in it, no problem! Easy to set up- just don't forget to remove the covers over the screw on legs before trying to attach them. Guilty here ;) Even so, it took less than 5 minutes. Safety wise, it's a dream. It won't slam down . Very happy here!
