Bought two of these ottomans for in front of my couch.  I have a large round tray on one (for drinks, coffee table book and a small plant).  The other we use for putting our feet up.  These were the perfect choice for our family.  Based on reviews I knew going in that my kiddos prob shouldn’t be sitting on them to keep the “pouf” intact.  But we love them!  After much searching, Wayfair certainly had the best price.  Very happy with my purchase!
