I love this ottoman. It is sturdy and well constructed. It was easy to assemble, just had to screw on the legs. The lid is a bit heavy, so may not be suitable for every user. My Mother is 72, loves it, but could never lift and flip the lid over on her own. My 4 year old petite daughter can slide it off, spin it and slide it back on. It’s not easy for her, but she muscles it around when she’s determined to play on it. The blue is a lovely color, it was perfect with our rug and hardwood floors.
