I purchased this to be a coffee table/ottoman for the living room to replace 2 bonded leather storage cubes that started peeling. This ottoman was too high to use as a coffee table so I ended up using it at the foot of my bed where it fits nicely. I had problems asembling the ottoman because the holes in the top section were drilled in the wrong place. In the end I had a strong helper push and hold the legs in place so the holes would line up with the tools of the legs and I could get the bolts screwed in. Luckily the wood legs have some give and we got it to work. One of the legs wasn't finished properly and has white glue or varnish streaks. Overall, it's ok for the price, but I still need a coffee table as this didn't work as intended.
