This is a nice little foot stool, with storage for our little one's toys and games.  It is easy to clean, and it is the perfect height when I want to put my feet up.  The caramel color is a little too orange-y for me, but we thought we would buy one and try the color out, before committing to the other 2 ottomen that we need.  I will probably order 3 of the darker brown ones. One thing I like a lot is that when lifting the lid, it pulls itself open at the half way point of lifting.  And when closing, I need to push it all the way down.  Our 3 year old can put things in and take things out and I don't worry that the lid will snap closed on her hands.
