The best one on Amazon, I bought them all!
I’m a stranger on the Internet, but trust me, buy this one. I spent far too long, bought way too many options, returned them all and was ready to give up… until I got this one. This is solidly built, well shipped, fully assembled and looks really nice! I bought several costing twice as much and they all had issues, mostly just badly made and badly shipped. This is a solid piece of furniture. It looks as though it cost quite a bit more.Out of the box it is fully assembled. It was packed nicely and even tho mine came unaccosted I imagine if the UPS guys are less forgiving the packaging would still protect it. Slip it out of the box and you’re done! It did contain the usual awful smell of furniture protectant, but that dissipated within a couple hours.The only negative I have to say about this is with the floor board… and I’m not sure I can even say it’s a negative as it’s just par for the course. I bought several of these, some 3x as expensive… and they all came with a thin, very thin, particle board floor. This one is no exception. It’s thin, it’s crap… don’t store your free-weights in this. It’s fine for shoes (my purpose) or blankets etc… but nothing heavy. That’s not to say it’s not well built, it is – it’s just the floor.I have no problem sitting on this to put on shoes, the reason I bought it – and I’m 240lbs. I can also sit on it easily with my partner – another 120lbs. It feels rock solid. I could not be happier with this. I spent a long time trying to find one that was well built and looked nice, and I finally found it.UPDATE 10/23/2017I’m still really happy with this ottoman. It’s held up incredibly well in my entryway and looks great after daily abuse except for one tiny flaw. One of the fabric pieces has come off of one of the buttons – leaving a tiny silver button on the top. It’s really annoying to my eye… but given the use this thing gets I’m a bit forgiving. We (two large adults) use it daily to sit and put shoes on, put Amazon deliveries on etc. The cosmetic flaw could likely be easily fixed if I just had a bit of the same fabric. Aside from that it still looks new. I’m particularly impressed, given how many boxes we often stack on it, that the fabric doesn’t look at all soiled. I’ve emailed the company and asked if they can send me the tiny bit of fabric to fix the issue – I’ll update if they respond.

Elegant pop of color to help de-clutter our home
We had been looking for a toy chest, or something to organize my 5 year old’s STUFF. It was creeping all over our living room and the Montessori style toy organizer became overwhelmed by accumulation over the years. Nothing seemed quite right. We wanted non-toxic, a good amount of interior space and dimensions to fit the area where the organizer bins had been while also optimizing the storage. Finding this storage ottoman was it! It feels great, looks great, stores quite a bit and I feel like we gained square footage in the living room! And, it’s a really comfy spot to read together. So happy with this purchase! (note: tried to upload a photo several times, but it wouldn’t work)

Love this storage bench
I love the perfect light gray but not too light, love the size, the storage capacity is great, the lid fits perfectly. The fabric seems to be a cross between linen and velvet, hard to explain, a bit like corduroy. It looks classy. The height is fine as well as length. The only thing I do t love is that as others said itâs Hard when you sit on it, a bit surprising as looks soft- it is not – we have it in our bedroom – so fine for putting slippers on etc. It feels well made. It cameWith a mark on the front- which was annoying- it was permanent- looked like a pen mark but wasnât. They gave me someMoney off as I liked it and didnât want to send it back. I was happy with that.

The quality look of this storage bench
I love this storage bench the texture of the fabric is beautiful and it has storage enough to store decorative pillows of the bed. I like the bench because you can sit on it, this makes iteasy to put your shoes on without sitting on the bed.

Beautiful
The color was just a little lighter than expected but this piece is gorgeous. Everything (the lid with hinges) is already assembled so you only need to screw on the legs. The quality of this piece is well worth the price. I am very happy with this purchase.

Great Ottoman/bench storage
This is a great piece of furniture. Came very quickly. Packaged very well. Easy setup. Just a really great price of furniture for the money especially. Good storage space also.

Well made
I ordered this bench to put at the end of my king size bed because I had the space and wanted some storage. This bench is well made and sturdy. The fabric is a pretty light gray and has a lot of storage space. Shipping was fast. Very pleased with this purchase. I would definitely recommend.
