We love this ottoman. We have a toddler so we wanted something that could withstand him learning how to walk, wouldn't send us to the ER b/c of sharp corners, and would stick around for a while. And this one was great. It looks far more expensive than it is, it stores a ton inside (and the mechanism for opening/closing is totally kid safe - it won't slam), and is super comfy for the feet. Glad we found this one and would definitely recommend!
