We ordered these ottomans because they appear child friendly, no sharp corners.  But the staples that attach the fabric to the bottom of the ottoman were sticking out and broken off, creating numerous sharp metal pieces protruding from the bottom edge of the ottoman.  Using a hammer and a pair of pliers we removed the broken staples and hammered down the staples that were not properly set so they are safe now, but be warned to look out for them before someone gets hurt.
