This looks really nice and is a close match to the leather chair we paired it with - just slightly shinier. I bought it to store a stash of books and toys for family and friends' kids, and was excited to find that the lid stays up when it's open, so the kids can easily open it and dig around without help...and without smashing their heads or fingers.

Edited after 3 months: I took a star off because there's something funky about the legs on this piece. I can see them when I sit on the couch on the other side of the room, and none of them look like they're at a 90-degree angle. I've tried adjusting how they're screwed in, and it makes no difference. I just hope it doesn't affect the ottoman's structural integrity and ability to bear weight.
