After searching for over a year for a bright white ottoman that was just the right size for a small bedroom that I turned into a "reading room", I was happy to find this one. The top section can be turned over and used as a tray and I'm using the inside storage space for all of the many old letters and mementos I have saved over the years. Very pretty piece of furniture to complete the look of my room and and a great price! I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a smaller, multi-functional ottoman!
