It came in a flat, maybe 5 inches thick, box that had me concerned. I was extremely pleased when I opened it!
Its really quite sturdy and will  hold a lot of items in it. Thats only one blanket it and will definitely hold more. Its double the size of my old (literally) one that my Doxie loves to sit on while looking out the door.  My guard dog!
Its classy and expensive looking and would look great with any decor.  It will probably end up being a toy chest for my grandkids. What a versatile piece of furniture! If you havent already guessed, I highly recommend this ottoman!
