love this ottoman. the lid is very sturdy so that it doubles as coffee tablet/additional seating and anything that spills on the top wipes away clean and easy. the storage inside is so large you could easily fit toys, blankets, pillows. we use it for media storage and easily have 150+DVD boxes in  here with plenty of room to spare. it was delivered very secure in a box that protected all edges. we have it in a room with red couches too so it doesn't necessarily match but it gives a nice refined, textured look to the room. would absolutely recommend this to others.
