This ottoman is very beautiful. It is a very good size.  It came in very well packaged and covered in plastic which was great because it was delivered in the rain and the box got wet. Assembly was a snap. All you need to do is screw on the wooden legs. I dont know why it came with instructions for that but I guess they want to be sure everyone understands, lol.  The legs were taped inside and the legs were very sturdy. I sat on the ottoman and it held my weight very well. I dont want to give my weight away but I am a pretty heavy girl.
