We have had these cubes for about 3 months so far and we use them in one form or another almost every day. The kids use the big cubes with the trays for lunch or dinner and the small cubes are always getting moved from room to room. The small ones are light enough the kids can move them on their own. Perfect for board games and the extra storage is always useful They are really worth the money.

I bought this a few days ago when it was a gold box item and it just came in today. I love it!

I ordered it in the brown and it is even nicer than pictured. Yes, it smelled like some kind of oil initially (even the ones in the store have this smell)but I wiped it down a couple of times (pledge wipes) and it smells fine now.

It is the perfect size for a small living room and the extra seating it provides is so great.

I have one similar to this (except it's just a flip-top storage bench from target) that lost its shape over time because the top layer was made of cheap foam. This one, however, has very small (almost the consistency of sand) beads that will help it keep its shape.

I highly recommend this!

I can't believe someone has the audacity to list this for $600. I thought I was getting a deal buying it at $99, but it arrived damaged in a broken cardboard box with no packing materials to protect it - protection that might have kept it presentable long enough for the return period to end. This thing is stapled together! (And in my case, the inner walls have come unstapled during shipping). It's so cheap, that the black covering you see arrived torn at one corner to expose a split plywood frame. On the inside, you can see that the inner walls are merely stapled to the same cheap frame. The inside is covered with a lining that did not even make it through shipping - the feet of the smaller ottomans tore the lining while still in the box. This thing looks big enough to sit two people, but I wouldn't dare try it, I'm not sure it has the structure to support a single full sized adult.

To be honest, for the price shipped I didnt have the highest expectations. The first thing I noticed when I first opened the box is that these things smell!!! Sounds weird, but they smell like gun oil.
Other then the smell (which I am hoping will go away soon) they are great quality and are exactly what I was looking for.

Anybody that says this was a bad deal is probobly a completley unrealistic expectations. I live in a smallish studio downtown and keep it appointed quite nicely. It is furnished with a combo of vintage eames era pieces and some modern ones. Having items that serve as more than one thing is key. This serves three-four purposes. A coffee table, a footrest, extra temporary seating for extra guests or games and a place to eat.

I like clean smooth lines, so I removed the strappy looking handles. After those were gone it has a very sleek look. Of course it is not made of ironwood and thick, supple italian leather. It cost me under 90 bucks delivered, which is almost free considering the price of some of my other furniture/art/etc. Admittedly, I keep things in nice shape and dont abuse items. I cant say that if you have kids all over this or are a drunken frat boy that it will remian a nice piece of furniture, but out of the box it is an exceptional deal and you will have that extremley satisfying feel of money well spent after you enjoy this in your home.

The storage ottoman came yesterday and so far I am very pleased! The package was a little torn and worn out by the time it got to me, but the product was not damaged. There is a smell, but it's just the leather-like material. We're letting ours air out and the smell is already beginning to fade. The storage is great for our puzzles and games, with room to spare. We are looking forward to using all three ottomans for extra seating. The trays definitely come in handy for holding drinks and snacks. Overall, very pleased and would recommend this to anyone.

We love our storage ottoman. We wanted a black cocktail table/storage ottoman combo and this had all the feautures we needed and more and at a price that absolutely cannot be beat compared to similar products that still don't come close for double or triple the price. Also, the black was a big deal, seems like there are tons of brown ones out there but very few black. The only thing I'm not wild about are the somewhat unnecessary straps on the tray lids. They kindof get in the way and look a little tacky, but you could easily snip them off, and I plan to do that. You don't need them to pull the lids off, and they stick out and look funny. The inside of the trays have handles carved in so the only use for the straps would be to pull the lids off when the tray is facing down. The seat lids are surprisingly comfy, and the trays can be used to make it a cocktail table, or to use as TV lap trays. The little stools inside are great for get togethers when you need extra seating. If you really need the storage space, you could just get rid of the stools and it's still a good deal with or without them. It's small and light enough to be moved off the rug when we need floor space to play Wii or whatever. The only thing I would add are some slippery feet to bring it up off the floor a half inch or so and help it slide around. I'm sure I could screw some on. Also, the material is good quality synthetic leather and looks very nice, not cheap at all. Great product, sturdy, highly recommend!

We bought this ottoman in brown for $85 on a special Friday sale. For the price, they are incredibly high quality. They shipped quickly, as Amazon always does.

In response to the smell that some are noting in their ads, right out of the box, I didn't notice a scent at all, but based on the reviews, I took it out of the plastic that it came in right away, and took the little ottomans out of the big one and kept the lids off and sat it all out for a day. They were in a small room with the door closed all day. When I got home that evening I noticed a scent, due to the treatment of the leather. I then opened the window in that room and left them for a few hours. Since then, no smell is noticeable at all.

All in all, I think they are awesome!

We had no problem with the delivery and we live on the second story. It shipped quickly. There was a smell, so we aired it out and we wiped down the outside before using it. It has worked great and we love it. We were on a budget and have not found anything even close to this ottoman for its price. It is not sturdy construction, but I sit on the ottoman (I weight 190 lbs) and the little foot rests with no problem.
If you want a cost effective great piece of furniture for you home this is an excellent choice.

These are very nice and with the storage and the flip over server tops, they are very practical. They are priced very low, but they are priced correctly as they are built accordingly. I would recommend them, but be aware of their limitations due to their construction.
