Seville Classics Foldable Storage Cube/Ottoman

I wanted a small storage bench for baby toys to use by the baby's activity mat. This sturdy box with comfy cushion top required no assembly and is just the right size to set against the wall.

I purchased this for a foot rest for my husband while he recovered from surgery. The padded top has enough cushion that it supports the legs instead of feeling like they're on a chunk of wood. Assembly was a breeze - my 2yro nephew put it together and then proceeded to fill it with toys. We usually store a pillow and lap blanket in it. As to the sturdiness of the ottoman as a seat - it will handle 200lbs for about an hour. I only say that because that's how long a family member sat on it (the only reason she got up was to grab the nephew from climbing the endtable). I bought a larger one for toys and with six kids in an out of it 3 days a week for 2 months - its holding up to the abuse. Clean up is easy - blot dry and use dish soap (or a carpet cleaner). I thought the buttons would be problematic because I have 2 cats and live in a very dusty area. Vacuum cleaner works wonders on the hair and dust. I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone who has children and/or pets. I wish I had it 20 years ago for my own child's toys!
