We are very pleased with this ottoman.  The vinyl covering is nicely upholstered, and the inside storage area is completely lined including the inside lid.  It offers space to store lots of stuff.  The tab in the front makes it easy to open and protects the lid from excess wear and tear.  The lid has a spring hinge on one side which prevents it from slamming down on a persons head and hands.  It arrived well packed and damage free.  All we had to do is screw on the legs which was very nice.
