This solved a very major problem for me -- my platform storage bed is fairly high and, with the addition of an adjustable bed apparatus and my fairly thick mattress, getting into bed became a bit of a challenge.  This small ottoman was just the answer, as it's just big enough to use as a foot stool for that purpose; it's been very steady (step close to the center so you don't tip it), and the color happened to be perfect for my particular color scheme.  Made well enough for my needs, with durable fabric, and it's quite solid if you keep towards the middle, so in all, I'm quite happy with my purchase.
