My wife and I were looking for some extra storage in the living room that was showing and kid-friendly, and this ottoman fit the bill. It's a good size, comes pretty much assembled, and was a great match for our furniture. All wins. 

The only drawback is that the hinges that the lid lift on are horribly rusted. I actually thought they were faux patina'd at first but nope, just hideously rusted. They work but the ugly mottled brown and orange of the rust tend to stand out if you look at the hinged side. These will be getting replaced first chance I get.   

Pros: Value, easy storage
Cons: rusted hinges hurts appearance
