Be sure to check your ottoman immediately upon delivery. I made the mistake of waiting to take it out of the box, and noticed that the top of the ottoman does not site squarely on the base. The hydraulic bar pushes the lid too far back. Also the hinges are not screwed in well on that same side that pushes back too far. I had to have a friend who builds furniture, come out and totally take the top off, hydraulic bar, hinges and all, and reseat/re-drill everything all over again. It would have been too much to try to send back to the supplier. Overall, this was very poorly made, unfortunately. And this will probably be the last item I buy from this manufacturer... It's pretty, and fits the space perfectly. But I should not have to rebuild a piece of furniture.
