I bought this as an ottoman, was delighted it claimed to have storage inside.  True in every way.  And ultra sturdy, a tornado could hit the house and this ottoman would still be standing in one piece when we rummaged through the rubble.  But it also can handle someone (comfortably) sitting on it so it also adds seating space to the room.

We have a stumbling one year old living here so we removed the coffee table temporarily to avoid head bruising.  This is the right height to fill that function in the interim.  And it is padded enough to be comfy and bruise reducing until the baby stops walking like a zombie.

Pros: sturdy, good storage, can seat someone comfortably, looks good, nice grey
Cons: none
