Love this ottoman--we think of it as a bench. It was bought to store bed linens and fit underneath tall windows in our old-house bedroom.  We bought the darker verson, and it looks exactly as I hoped it would in the space. Very well-built for the money, sturdy, plenty of room inside. Love the little wooden feet, whose gentle outward curve gives a subtle hint of Asian style. An extra I wouldn't have expected for the money. Excellent buy for us.
