I love how the ottoman is attached and slides in/out, as needed. The wood is beautiful. We are going to coat in linseed oil to protect it - I don't know how it will stand up to the elements.   
I did think for some reason that the ottoman could be angled down, but it can't. When you pull it out, it basically sits at an angle parallel to the ground, so your feet are out (like a chaise).

Pros: Nice wood, built-in ottoman is convenient/versatile
Cons: ottoman only has one position
