Very sturdy ottoman.  Easy to assemble, just screw in legs. I spray painted the metal gold legs to metallic silver to match other items in my home. This ottoman serves 4 purposes, footrest, extra seating, side table (when you flip the top over to wood surface, and a very roomy storage compartment.  A great bang for your buck. Well worth the price.  Also, the fabric is velvety soft. NICE!!!
