I really like this small ottoman.  I bought it to store food and treats for our two dogs (not large bags, of course, but small containers).  It has eliminated the problem of having to go to the garage for those things every time we need to feed our dogs, and out of sight near their eating bowls and water.  The perfect solution, and, it looks nice.  The lid opens on its own with a touch, which makes it even nicer.  I love it!
