These are awesome little ottoman's. Perfect for storing some toys or blankets in the living room, and the gray is a great neutral. I have little kids and didn't want a coffee table that they could get hurt on and these are great when I have drinks in the living room and need to set them down somewhere, but flip them over to the cushioned side when the kids are around. My mother saw them and now wants to order them as well for some rocking chairs she has in her house that have no footrests.
