The ottoman is beautiful and well-made!  I love the fact that you can see the construction when you unzip the bottom panel; this is where the legs are stored.  The ottoman appears to be constructed from solid hardwoods with sinuous springs and lots of comfortable padding. Since the legs simply screw on, customers have the option of using the ottoman without the legs if extra height is not needed. The "assembly" simply involves screwing on the legs.  We plan to use it as a footrest, a place for drinks (with a tray), and extra seating. I would highly recommend this solid and comfortable piece of furniture!
