Rather than purchase one large ottoman, I decided to purchase two of these smaller ottomans in black. I am pleasantly surprised at the excellent quality and materials; their heft is substantial! In one I can store large, heavy fleece-lined winter blanket; the other holds a collection of CDs and room sprays. What I really like is that I can turn the tops into serving trays when we have company. I have purchased several pieces of furniture from Wayfair, and have not yet been disappointed
