I purchased this ottoman to go in a new sitting room.  It has a very modern, expensive look and is very functional.   I definitely feel like I got a lot for my money.  The ottoman came in one piece and all I had to do was screw the legs on.  The only thing I thought was a little strange was that it came with brown legs.  (ottoman is black)  It doesn't look bad because I have brown and black in my room, but it might be something to pay attention to if you are expecting all black.  Overall, I couldn't be happier.
