I used these ottomans as a footrest for some armless chairs. They are a perfect size to use as either a footrest or a small stool. They're sturdy enough to sit on comfortably, but light enough that you can easily move them. The internal storage isn't huge, but it's enough to fit a pile of shoes in each one. They're a great and versatile addition to any room.

The only reason I gave these a 4 instead of a 5 is the color. It's very, very dark brown, so they clash a little bit with both black (they're slightly lighter) and brown (they're a few shades darker with the espresso-colored furniture I have).
