This ottoman might seem a bit pricey for an item that one would set their feet upon, but it is quite delightfully large in person. The base is solid wood with very sturdy legs. Assembly took me 10 minutes at most since the legs just screw on. The cushion is very securely attached via the Velcro back. Due to its size, my guests have used it as a multi-person seat and I always enjoy propping my feet up after a leg day.
