Versatel Ottoman for the home!
I had been looking around for a nice ottoman with storage for our walk-in closet for a while and wasnt having much luck finding something of good quality at a good price. Then I came across this and I couldnt be happier. Put together well, very sturdy to sit on and store items. Quality hinges for consistent opening and closing of the lid. Looks good and feels good with surprising comfort with the thick top cushion.

Really nice
This is better than I expected for the price. Big, roomy, solid, well-made, quality materials, very pretty. I couldn’t be happier!

Really nice. Really, really nice.
I’ve been ottoman shopping for weeks. This was the perfect combination of functionality (I live in a condo and needed extra storage space) and style and price. I love the distressed leather. And this likely would have been three times the cost if I would have gone to a local furniture store.This had more storage space than I expected too.I also love the amount of space on the top of this ottoman (and that it is nice and flat for laying a tray down for meals). As you can see from the photos, I am comfortably only using a third of the foot rest space (I am 5’11”).This is way sturdier than I assumed it would be for the price too. Before it arrived I assumed I would have to have a “no sitting on top of the ottoman” rule but this will easily support me sitting on it (175 lbs.).Very nice piece of furniture.

Decent unit, but Low height
Nice ottoman. Seems well built and sturdy. Good folding lid support brackets. The ad is a bit misleading as one statement says the top is âleatherâ while others refer to âvegan leatherâ. It is all imitation leather/naugahyde, but the material seems OK for the price. Legs are quite short and the ottoman sits too low (16â) (sits at foot of guest bedroom queen bed). We ordered 6â wooden replacement legs separately. An extra expense, but now the height is 19â and much better. All in all, satisfied with the unit.

Good coffee table replacement
We loved the coffee table in our living room, but with a 3-year-old and 7-month old the sharp edges were too dangerous (the toddler fell on it and required stitches) so we needed a replacement. This fits the bill! Seems sturdy. Great storage for toys and books, keeping them organized and out of sight. The hinge also has a safety catch of some kind so it wonât slam down on little fingers.

Well made, good looking, great value.
I chose this one because of the box stitching on top. This is a quality feature you would find on benches covered with real leather. The faux leather wasn’t bad for look and feel and coupled with the quality upholstery work, I’m happy with how it looks. It came fully assembled and well packaged. The hinges and construction are sturdy. Another great value from Amazon. I searched multiple websites and through dozens of similar products from other brands. This was the best price for product. Highly recommend.

Not sturdy. Looks way more orange in person
Not sturdy, had to return.I like the form — it’s comfortable to sit on or rest your feet on and has good storage space — just not a big fan of the color. It looks way more orange in person, and if it wasn’t so difficult to find a brown storage ottoman/bench that wasn’t really dark brown /or overly traditional looking, I’d return it.

Very pleased with this attractive and sturdy piece.
We are so pleased with our new storage ottoman. We purchased the denim blue. The shade is just right to blend with the navy accents in our room, but other lighter shades would work with this piece also. The best part is how sturdy it is. We use it daily as a footrest, not just to hold blankets. We also occasionally use it for spare seating. This is much sturdier that the storage ottoman we replaced. The legs are nice and tight, and the boards and cushion are solid. We are very pleased with this choice.
