These ottomans are beautiful. The black vinyl looks and feels like an expensive leather. I love how the hinges hold wherever you stop when opening them. The inside is a nice, large storage area. The only reason I removed one star is because the feet are much too tall for us. When we installed the feet, it made the ottomans too tall to comfortably rest your feet on them. We removed them and the height was perfect. We plan to add a flat foot on them instead so they stay low to the floor.
