I am so pleased! I was a little worried when it Arrived in a L15" xW15" and H5" deep box, thinking this can't be correct and dreading assembly.  But to my surprise... I unfolded a very sturdy folding base, placed in base insert and popped on the lid! Yep that's all. For the ultimate test I a 175lb person sat on it.  Then I used as a foot stool and soooo soft and comfy. No sharp corners. WOW this is sturdy and he fabric is just as shown as well beautifully made. I have been looking for an inexpensive yet sturdy ottoman to serve as foot stool and storage and this is the best bang for your buck!
