I wanted something I could put my work shoes in near the front door when I get home. I cut a cardboard box to lay inside for them so they don¡¯t touch anything inside because I use the other side for blankets. I was surprised at the quality of this piece.
I absolutely love this! Have had it quite a while and despite my little doggie using it as a jump off from the bed it has stayed clean! It holds a whole lot of my shoes so I was able to create a lot more space in my closet and have a bonus place to sit and put on my shoes etc. and happy accident the material matches perfectly with a chair I had already purchased from pier one.
It seems like a good quality piece, comfortable to sit upon, nice texture, with fairly roomy storage inside. It tilts back when you open the lid, but that¡¯s probably the same with any bench seat of this sort when empty. I can confidently recommend this lovely bench seat.
I was leery in purchasing the Storage Ottoman. After all, ordering furniture online is a gamble. It is broad and sturdy and are perfect. It looks higher end than it is and the only difference is that it is physically a lighter weight and the material a neutral instead of a pattern. I placed this larger option at the end of my antique full bed to store shoes and it looks substantial and perfectly at home in a room full of elegant old pieces.
Perfect size for what I needed - plenty of storage for blankets or just about anything - top stays up while putting in or taking things out - so easy to assemble - sturdy can sit on it with no problem - the only draw back I have is the color - I wanted to use this ottoman as a coffee table but the color just didn't click with my linen color sofa.
Very well made and sturdy. Looks just like the picture, including the color. I ordered the red colo. I weigh just over 200 lbs and sit on this every morning to put my shoes on and it's very sturdy. Highly recommend!
