Had this ottoman for less than 8 months, and we now have to get rid of it. Not sturdy at all. Had to tighten the screws every week as they would become loose and the ottoman would wobble. Went to re-tighten it this week and one of the metal support poles had actually snapped. This item is very cute, would only recommend if in an area where it isn’t used a lot. Between us putting our feet up to watch TV, and our dog who is 15 lbs and likes to jump on it, it has not held up in the slightest. Not even bothering to see about replacing the pole because re-screwing it every week is simply not worth it.
