I ordered this ottoman to replace a large wooden storage coffee table that for years I have adored. I wanted something a bit more friendly for my kids, while also adding richness to my family room and providing ample storage space. The item came yesterday and all I can say is..WOW! The brown is a rich color. Though it is not real leather, I certainly couldn't tell much of a difference (real expensive leather scratches, the cheaper the leather means no scratches). This does not look like high end leather, but it certainly does not look like imitation either. When I first opened it to see the storage, I didn't believe I would get all I had in my wooden one to fit. Boy, was I surprised! Everything fit (blankets, dvd player, cords, and tons of dvd's), with a bit of room to spare. What I really liked is the hinges. When you open the top it stays open and if you gently hit it to close, it does not slam shut. It's lowers slowly and for my kids sake, no worries of fingers or heads..lol, getting slammed. It is not very heavy, but is very sturdy. The bonus to the item was the price. I couldn't find anything comparable (and I tried) for the price. Overall, I am impressed and very happy.
I attached a picture. I apologize for the resolution. Bad camera phone. You can see my former coffee table in the background."..." Read more
