I absolutely love this ottoman.  The look, feel, and durability of the item have definitely met my expectations.  I have a narrow apartment and didn't want to waste space with a full size coffee table so I purchased this ottoman which fits my needs perfectly.  I opted not to attach the legs and it's the perfect height to be both a footrest and coffee table.  The fact that it also provides extra storage and can be used as additional seating when guests come over is amazing.
