I purchased this ottoman to help hide some clutter in my bedroom, which it did perfectly. There is a decent amount of space to store belongings. This item perfectly matches the item pictured on the site. The ottoman is easy to open and close and the hinges truly hold the top open when in use. It came assembled, save for the feet. They simply screwed into the bottom by hand. So easy. It was also light enough that I could move it on my own (I am 115 lbs).
