I ordered this ottoman for our media room that also serves as a playroom for our grandchildren; I wanted something that looks nice, but that would be practical and durable.  I love this ottoman!!  It appears to be far more expensive than the price I paid, and it is sturdy and practical as well as beautiful.  My husband and I were a little concerned after reading the reviews about the process of attaching the legs to the ottoman; however, we looked at them carefully and got them on correctly after the first try.  It seems if you are aware that the legs are an interesting shape, it is no problem to attach them.
