Worth every penny.
I have had this ottoman since June. I have used it as a window seat. The color was accurately depicted online, and has held up to the sun, no fading is visible. It was a little stiff at but it was handy as I often use part of it to set drinks and things on as I sit in my window. Would make a good living room addition. The storage lid has nice brackets that kind of assist you when opening the lid. It arrived well packaged and easy to assemble. No complaints here!
