I like furniture that multi-tasks!  This ottoman is big enough for two to use with room to spare. Or I can see it being used as extra seating (for someone on the lighter side of the scale). I also use this as a “cocktail” table on my patio to hold a tray of beverages and snacks.  It requires assembly, which is easy enough, but takes a little chunk of time with a manual tool if you don’t have an allen wrench drill bit.
