I love this ottoman. I have a long couch and this is a pretty perfect length for it. It does sit a little high with the legs, but it is still comfortable. I love that the shoe holders are removable (velcro) as I did not buy it to store shoes (I bought it to store throw blankets). We did keep one of the small side holders in to use as remote storage. I like that the lid stays open until you close it; it makes putting things away a lot easier. All in all it's a great ottoman and I'm really enjoying it.
