I love this ottoman! I've been looking for one like it for a while. I have two young children who like to plunk things on the table, so I was in need of something sturdy, but was also concerned about finding something that wouldn't hurt them if they fell against it. This ottoman fits the bill on both accounts. Another attractive feature of this ottoman is that it doubles as extra storage! Now I have a place to put extra blankets when they are not in use! Shipping was right on time, too! Great job, Wayfair!
