Home Basics Storage Ottoman, Paris 2 Pack

Pros:1) For a pair, the price is alright (I also like the colors and patterns, modern and practical.)2) As a storage, they are spacious. Wide, bigger than I expected and as tall as a regular ottoman.3) They can be folded for future use.4) I can use it as a footstool as stated.5) They are really lovely-looking especially if you’re a fan of anything “Parisian”, you might like them.6) Assembly isn’t required as it is super easy to put together.Cons:1) Yes, I can use it as a footstool because I am petite and slim. As for much taller people, I’m not too sure if these footstools are sturdy enough to hold the weight.2) the material is a bit flimsy so I suggest to try be careful when moving/carrying/using it as a footstool.3) It isn’t a good idea to sit on it since it is originally made as a footstool/storage (and not to mention, it can be folded so imagine what might happen if it folds up when you sit.)4) I can see it isn’t durable, so if you’re not careful, these won’t last long.Overall, I am still happy with my purchase, they’re exactly what I need at the moment.

Ok here is an update. I have had this for about a month now (my original review is below and I originally rated it 5 stars.) and it has already broke. The lid has broken meaning the flimsy cardboard holding the lid together has cracked. I made the mistake of casually sitting down on it to tie my shoe (closest thing and out of habit, it's what an ottoman is for) and just that broke it. I don't think this can be classified as an ottoman as it wasn't able to hold my weight for even a few seconds. I would only use this as a for looks only piece and wouldn't even use it to rest my legs on. I have lowered my rating to 2 star because of the false advertising in the name. It just doesn't work.Old review:This was a perfect addition for my chair to be a small ottoman where I can store a couple of blankets in. However something you should know is it folds it is not solid. It comes in three pieces which is the top the sides and the liner base.

I love these little Ottoman boxes. They are well-made, if the fabric is nice, and unlike other reviews all of my patterns for on straight and facing the right direction, up. They are larger than I thought and hold quite a bit. You can’t beat the two for one pricing on these little Ottoman storage boxes. I’m not sure how heavy of a person they would hold that I am an average size woman about 148 pounds and I can sit on them with no problem. But that’s not what I got them for, I got them to sit beside my vanity to store my hair dryers, curling iron, etc.

I'm giving the product 5 stars because it exceeded my expectations. It's definitely a good value if you're looking for a storage piece that can hold a bit of weight and looks pretty good. It's definitely NOT a solid wood "furniture" piece - but that's ok since its $50 to $100 less than its "furniture" ottoman alternativesPros:Sturdier than what I expected for What I paid. I have bought these types of collapsable cubes before for storage shelves etc. Except for some of the more expensive one are usually a bit flimsy. This one is well made for the priceIt holds weight well and the sides are pretty sturdy. I sit on it to put on my shoes and it does fine (I'm 175 lbs) Though I am pretty sure that's not recommended!Roomy inside- product measurements are right. I use it to hold laundry.Cons:Not a fan of the design. Wish there was a "plain" alternative.The lid has a piece of cloth all the way around that "stretches" over the sides to keep it in place. While this makes it secure and more useful as a foot rest - and many would prefer it, I'd prefer one that rests in place or is held on didferently so I can open it quickly, to drop things in.Overall very pleased.

Ordered two for me and one for my great niece who loves it...my package came damaged and one of the pieces of the ottomon was not covered in any plastic coating...one ottoman is perfect...the other top looks poorly made with the cushioning top looking like it was cut too short...putting it in my closet and one in my hubby's so good enough but cannot give a totally glowing review....the key word is quality control....

These are beautiful ottomans. The ONLY reason I am not giving it 4 stars is that they are not designed to hold much weight. We purchased them as a replacement for my daughter's vanity chair, and I don't think they will hold up too long to her sitting on them. This is certainly not the ottomans' fault! I just want to draw attention to this in case someone is looking for a weight-bearing "chair." They very attractive - better looking than their price would assume. They work great as storage and as ottomans. Would definitely buy again and may very well buy more for our family room.

These are really nice, sturdy and very good looking as well as roomy. I love them.

I purchased 4 thinking they would be a set of storage/light seating/foot rests. I hate them. I can't come up with a way to make them sturdier yet. The tops are definitely not as cushioned as I imagined, not can you use them as a transitional table- Just ANGRY. I put blankets inside and the bottom wants to fall out due to the cheap fabric underneath- almost tore already and I just opened the package LAST NIGHT. Does not due well over small area carpet. I wanted one to hold my controllers, two for blankets and one for gifts- it is NOT sturdy enough for the blankets and I will not be able to store any of the gifts/controllers in it because they weigh more. SO ANGRY. I wouldn't pay $10 for these useless "ottomans". Too big to put a Milk-crate in to try to make them more sturdy- I'm at a loss. >.<;;
