La Maison Large Ottoman Foldaway Storage Blanket Toy Box Bench Faux Leather Practical Bench Blanket Box (Charcoal, 76cm x 38cm)

***(UPDATE)*** If you don't wish to read my full review, this is my update after owning and using it for 11 hours DAILY for many months... I am certainly pleased with this Ottoman!.. It has been a valuable addition to my home and has eased my arthritic symptoms + made my fight with fybromyalgia just that bit more comfortable to deal with. I use it pushed-up against my sofa, originally into an 'L' shape, but for the last few months switched to a side profile, completely square with the sofa... It is the same height, so I put 2 duvets a 4 blankets across the both of them and have 2 flat pillows on the ottoman and 2 on the sofa (one is a bit nicer), so I have a stable but comfortable and super large seat (I am small)... I have a load of orthopaedic supports and pillows, including a handy lap/gaming pillow + batwing pillow to add even more comfort. I absolutely love this setup and was suffering greatly without it! My Arthritis is not too unbearable or excruciating now and I feel less stressed than before! I store a lot of occasional-use items inside. It's incredibly sturdy, practically solid and amazing quality! ***(ORIGINAL REVIEW)*** Wow, I am really impressed with the quality of this Ottoman!.. It is possibly one of the absolute BEST versions I have owned yet! Honestly, I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is... considering it is marginally cheaper than practically every single one of this size, yet, it's actually just as good, if not better, than pretty much every single one I have owned in the past! (I have had quite a few in my life, and they were mostly upwards of £100+ luxury Ottomans). As this was so incredibly cheap, I had assumed it would be a basic, somewhat 'weak' Ottoman that may not hold-up well in terms of supporting weight and being freely sat on, but I was totally unprepared for the exceptional quality & stability of this product - it's extremely robust AND very comfortable to sit on! I am more than happy with my purchase - it is a remarkable Ottoman, truly a gem of a multi-functional piece of fashionable furniture that acts as a viable seat, with sufficient storage space... it has a significantly 'premium' feel to it and a charming appearance - also, I found it to be quite a bit larger than initially anticipated!.. It has a good 'weight' to it, somewhat heavy, which is a positive sign of great durability & structural integrity - should be able to withstand considerable amounts of prolonged, heavy usage, without showing signs of stress, warping/distortion or generally breaking... I will keep updating at relevant intervals, or if there is a major development in it's condition). Otherwise, it was delivered in immaculate condition, fully-sealed and brand-new, with 0 damaged or defects - excellently packaged, with due care. There's a concise instructional guide for persons whom have never owned an Ottoman before - pretty straight-forward stuff; Separate the x3 Pieces > Unfold/Open 'Container' > Place 'Base-Plate' into the Bottom of 'Container' > Attach 'Lid'. Same system that has been used for millennia! It's surprising when you relive the apprehension built-up prior to testing the stability/integrity of the 'final form' - I have had some Ottomans completely cave-in rather abruptly, and to feel a sudden drop into the ground through the Ottoman is a proper shock - others had slowly folded-in at the sides under light-pressure/force, and some have had the cheap plywood lid just crunch in two regardless of weight as the leverage was too much for the cheap materials to handle!.. So I have that added PTSD from defective(?) Ottomans... but 'this' one passed the test! I plan to use it, firstly, to replace the temporary box at the end of/underneath my bed and, secondly, will most likely also replace the mini bench (that's the same height, but half the total length of the Ottoman) which I use against my sofa, covered in duvets. blankets & support pillows (sofa + mini bench) to act as a sofa lengthener + provide comfortable support for my Polyarthritis, as the arthritic symptoms require ample support and enough space to find that perfect 'resting-point'. I will probably purchase another to use as a 'trunk' at the base of my bed, so I can store less-important items/occasional wares in it and free-up as much space as possible. Due to the faux leather materials covering the exterior of this Ottoman, it's relatively easy to clean - just wipe with a damp, soapy cloth and then dry (+ I like to spray a little fabric freshener onto it as well). As for the interior... that's a little more tricky and requires some finesse - it's the standard material that you find in literally EVERY single Ottoman ever, so if you've owned one before, you know what to expect*… *Usually just a good upside-down shake every few months + a light vacuum-cleaning, with some gentle damp cloth cleaning, if you are unfortunate enough to acquire some staining - but for the most part, it is just a simple dust & debris removal job. If for whatever reason you need to fold it up, it's as easy as putting it together, just pull on the tab to lift-out the base-plate and then push-in the sides of the container and place all three back into the lid for easy transportation, packing or storage. I strongly recommend this product!.. It is without a doubt, one of the better versions of a typically more expensive market, the best difference being that this is incredibly more affordable than the rest WITHOUT compromising structural integrity with it's concrete-like SOLID foundation and expert craftsmanship - a highly stable, reliable, sufficient product with plenty or storage space within it's large cavity! The stitching looks really good as well, no visible signs of deformity or loose threads - very well-made indeed!

This is a great storage ottoman. When it was delivered I was surprised how heavy the package was compared to other similar items I've had in the past. This is a good thing though! The quality of the build is excellent and the finish is perfect. It's fake leather but a very good material - easy to wipe clean and a really nice shade of grey. Putting the ottoman together is a breeze and one formed it seems to be very robust and strong. It has helped me with much needed extra storage in my tiny bedroom without taking up huge amounts of floor space. Bonus is that it can also function as a seat/stool and more than capably copes with my weight (I'm a big lass!) when I sit on it. The price point for this ottoman was also spot on compared to others available here on Amazon and elsewhere. It's not very often, nowadays, that things just do what they should without any niggles, minor criticisms or flaws but this ottoman does exactly what it should and looks good doing it.

The ottoman arrived promptly and is of a decent size. We use it to store toys in the living room for my little girl. It looks nice and is very practical. The quality is great as it seems sturdy enough! I probably wouldn't sit on it though

These are very sturdy , extremely easy to assemble and hold a fair amount of stuff for storage, however I would say they are on the tangerine side of ochre. They are very bright! If I hadn't thrown the packaging away, I may have asked for a refund and got a slightly less in your face colour. Instead, I have decided to work round them with some splashes of orange soft furnishings to make them fit in

I was so surprised by this ottoman how thick and leather it was.. I fitted loads in the box. u can sit on it looks good very good quality .Good investment in my room .

This is really lovely. Very strong and spacious but narrow enough in depth for a small bedroom. Strong enough to sit on too, although not really meant for that. Looks to be good quality too. I have ordered another one.

I totally recommend this item. It is strong, looks great, has plenty of room and looks attractive. Unfortunately the original order was damaged in transit despite being packed robustly (goodness knows what Royal Mail managed to do with it) but the seller was great and quickly send a replacement. Happy customer.

Very pleased with this item good quality
