Good quality ottoman footstool. We bought it mainly to use as a foot rest while sitting on our sofa. So, the storage is a nice added bonus. It works quite well with our sofa as the seat height of our sofa is about the same as that of this "foot stool". But I am skeptical about its ability to take weight for a long period, so I won't be letting any guests sit on it as it may collapse. I tried sitting on it though, and it was able to manage my weight but given its relatively weak construction I don't think it will last long if you sit on it.

But as a foot stool, it works perfectly, and has ample storage and it is nearly the same color as our sofa! It does not come with any instructions, but does require minor assembly. It came flat packed. The only thing about the assembly that gave me pause was figuring out how to install the metal insert that came with it, likely to give it structural rigidity. But after a few minutes I figured out the correct orientation for it.
