I was pleasantly surprised.  I LOVE this ottoman.  It arrived in perfect condition, looks beautiful, and has a large storage area in it which is what I was interested in also.  Looks like real leather.  You don't have to hold the cover open when you open it because the hinges don't allow it to fall. I can't say enough about this

Pros: Pros:  No assembly!!! just have to screw in the legs which takes about 10 seconds
Cons: No cons.
