The ottoman showed up on time, intact, and just as I expected. It's a nice dark brown that matches my existing couch set perfectly. I can fit two king size fleece blankets and two throw pillows in the storage, which is what I needed it to do. I wanted a child friendly piece in the living room as my toddler was always hurting himself on our hard traditional wood table and with another on the way to crawling and walking I thought it was time to change up our look. This ottoman doesn't get a full 5 stars because my husband found the lid doesn't sit completely flush against the walls when closed, even when empty, so setting drinks on it with a coaster for stability still isn't a good idea for our carpet.
