We bought this ottoman mostly for the price. It's difficult to find a storage ottoman that would fit out small space and isn't made of a leather or faux leather. We have 2 cats and needed something that wouldn't show all their scratching. After a couple weeks with this ottoman, I can say that it's holding up okay. One button has already come up, and I can see another one about to come off. The padding on the lid could be thicker. But for the price, I'm very happy with it still. I would recommend and buy it again.
