When i unpacked it, i was in doubt that a person can sit on this ottoman without damaging it. But i was wrong. Although the box is not made of wood but it is sturdy and you won't feel shaky when you sit on it. No compaints on the storage volume. You cannot expect more. The faux leather cover feels decent. The best thing is that it can be fold into 3” thick and carried to my rental property without waste my vehicle space. The smell of new faux leather cover is not very pleasant but it should be fine after putting on patio for a couple of days. Overall, pretty happy with the purchase for now.
