This ottoman would outlast a nuclear holocaust. Yes, it's that sturdy. Because of that, trying to move it on the carpet requires a strong back--maybe a crane. It's not light or flimsy, that's for sure but it IS well-made. Lots of room inside. You could easily hide a lover in there if he was really short. Comes pretty much assembled. All you have to do is put the little wooden feet on it--which I may take back off since they make it about 2" higher than my love seat. This would hold up well in a house full of kids. Or monkeys. Same diff.

Pros: Sturdy and roomy
Cons: You won't be moving this around much but hey, it's an ottoman, not a car.
