Finally love this ottoman, once it got put together! Be prepared to be patient, allow a good chunk of time, and pull out the power drill - many of the pre-drilled holes did not line up with the hardware included with top-lifting apparatus, and in some cases there were not pre-drilled holes when you really needed them. Once put together, it is a very nice piece that is roomy for storage, and the top big enough for feet and a drink tray.
