I purchased this ottoman in the dark brown color about 9 months ago now. It has held up fantastically and still looks good as new. We use it to store larger toys for my 3 year old son. He frequently opens the lid and slams it, and the lid still stays up when opened. We sit on this ottoman at times and the top fully expands when we stand up. There are no indentations, wrinkles, or signs of wear. Great purchase!
