Ordered two of these ottomans to be used side by side. We store blankets in one and toys in the other. They are well made and are eye-appealing. The tufting on top and the studs along the bottom add to the appeal. The top makes a great foot rest. The hinge can be popped in place to keep the top open while accessing the ample storage space. The ottomans were well packed for shipping. The only assembly needed is attaching the feet which screw in easily. Would order again.
