Starke Wide Rectangle Storage Ottoman

This is actually the 2nd 1 of these I purchased however it didn't assemble as well as the 1st 1. Holes did not align and 1 of the poles is bent.

Less than 6 months old and the weight of one lightweight adult broke the unit

The piece of furniture in itself is really nice. However, I do advise everyone to check it for flaws before putting together as we didn't (an error of judgement on our part) and only noticed after putting it together it had a tear in the fabric. Also the fitting to attach the gas spring on the lid was at a ninety degree angle. The fitting was fortunately able to be fixed. Maybe better packaging would have helped. I'm still giving it four stars as I like the look of the ottoman and felt if there had been no damage it was would be worth the money.

Was fine for a couple of days then the screws for the lid popped out and has damaged the inside of it now it won’t secure or close properly

Absolutely brilliant. Very sturdy and holds quite a bit for storage. Strong enough to sit on and looks really good. Can be used with or without the feet. Updating after a few years. The bottom could've been stronger. As it's only an insert it sagged over time and so dipped low enough in the middle to touch the floor. And I'm using the ottoman with the feet so it's lifted off the floor. Also, the gas lift area kind of dug into the lift and I think that's from sitting on it so that was pretty disappointing. Basically good if you just want to store blankets, pillows etc. Lokks pretty but I wouldn't recommend if you want to store quite a lot like me and if it really will be used as a seat quite often (my kids sit on it all the time). Looks pretty though
