I was hesitant because I had just bought new furniture and the set I choose did not have an ottoman. I wanted one to match. When this came, I was really happy with the color match, quality and the ease of putting the 4 legs on the piece. Other than screwing them in the holes - it was complete. Let me tell you about the hinges.... I thought they would be th typical slide hinges like most - no so. These are tubular, hydraulic cylinders and this goes up and down seamlessly and will stay open with no effort. You only see this in much higher end pieces. I am going to look at more of the Christopher Knight pieces because this one was excellent.
