This ottoman is just like the picture shows. It's perfect for the space I wanted it for. It's not two big, but will accommodate a tray I have.  It can doubles as a safe coffee table. No sharp edges like a traditional coffe table, so the grand babies won't get hurt on it. The top is a little softer than I imagined it would be, so I hope it holds up. I'm loving my purchase for the price I paid!
