This ottoman is exactly what I wanted for my closet! The best part about it is that it opens for storage which many other ottomans don’t do and is much needed. Although my closet is a decent size, there is never enough space. It was easy to assemble, all I had to do was screw on the legs. It is very sturdy and helps a shorty like me quickly reach my higher shelves. I also sit on it to put shoes on. It looks exactly as I hoped it would and I am so pleased with my purchase!
