Awesome, Awesome Awesome!  I love this ottoman! It ships flat then you unfold, place the flat section in the bottom and put on the top cushion.  DONE and ready to use.  It is very sturdy, nicely upholstered, has storage under the cushion and looks like velvet. I just love this piece its heavy duty, double as a seat or storage and you could even place a piece of glass or tray on top to use as a table. LOVE IT !****
