Christopher Knight Home Tufted Bonded Leather Ottoman Storage Bench, Brown, 51 by 19 by 16

I really like this bench for the end of my bed - a great place to stow extra extra linens, pillows, blankets. In warmer months, I still keep a light duvet on my bed, and can fold it down on top of the bench if it's too warm to sleep with; this way I can easily still keep my bed "dressed" during the day. It's a nice decorative accent, but also functional. The bench also a perfect seat for putting on/removing shoes, etc. Came fully assembled and in perfect condition. Great value!

We had a simple bench at the end of our bed but it did not have storage and did not look as nice as we wanted. So after so many folks who already owned it answered my questions up here I decided to give this a try. Well it arrived today and we are so pleased! it is beautiful, very elegant looking, very nice to the touch and did not have anything to put together. Even the feet came already attached. Doesn't get any easier than that. The box it came in was sturdy, it was nicely covered with a cloth/paper cover that was held on with elastic and arrived in perfect condition. I wanted this to sit on to put my shoes on etc. but also to store sheets and or blankets that were currently taking up room in our hall closet that we use for medicines etc. As some folks said here on answering my questions there is room enough for sheets, pillow cases, blankets etc. So far we have put in 4 sets of sheets, 12 pillow cases and I will be adding more to this. The color is a deep rich brown/coffee color. At night it looks nice and holds our comforter which we fold down the bed and then lay on (the old and now this one) this bench. So this is perfect for us and we are extremely pleased. Our old brown bench will now be a coffee table in our other bedroom as it can't hold a candle to our new storage bench!``

I bought this 2 years ago for my entry way behind my front door where I have a cutout in my wall. It was longer than most similar benches and fits my space perfectly. I am using it to store throw blankets so I t doesn't get opened and closed regularly all year long, but rather, seasonally. The inside storage area is 45" wide by 14" deep and 9" high. I have three very large, Sherpa lined throw blankets fit inside of it. When it is opened the lid will stay up on it's own and it closes softly so I am not worried about it slamming shut on my toddler's hands or fingers. However, there is oil on the hinges on each side so I'd rather not have my toddler playing inside of it anyway and I keep my blankets away from the hinges. The bench is climbed on daily by my toddler who likes to play with her toys on top of it and it doesn't show any wear. It cost a little more than similar benches but it was also a tiny bit longer than most. I would recommend this bench. It would also be nice at the foot of a bed.

We bought this to replace our glass top coffee because we have an infant and are trying to make our den more kid friendly. We also use it for toy storage! The inside space is large and the hinges seem sturdy. The lid will stay open. It is comfortable and I like the color. We have black chairs in our den and the dark brown looks good. I shopped a lot for an ottoman-amazon and other sites. I think this one is the best value and I think it will hold up for a long time! The shipping was great-no assembly needed! Oh, and the inside doesn't smell funny or anything-I know sometimes furniture does because of glue used or whatever. You can see the back part of the hinges across the back, but it doesn't bother me at all. Great ottoman!

So, I really like this ottoman because it looks really nice and it's size is perfect. It is being used at the foot of our bed to hold an extra comforter for our bed. With that said, I've rated it 4 stars due to how it arrived when it was shipped. The black fabric that is used on the bottom was loose and hanging when it arrived at my doorstep. I really didn't feel like returning it for that reason since no one will ever see the bottom of it, so I've just dealt with it. The other reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to its smell. The inside of the ottoman smells like stinky socks. Now, I want to say that it is not due to anything that we have done. We have not put anything inside of it until recently when we put a large comforter in it. When we took the comforter out, we were taken aback by the smell in our comforter and were convinced that one of our boys had used it while having the stinkiest feet ever. So, I washed the comforter and placed it back in the ottoman and when I did, I put my head in there and realized that it is the actual smell of the ottoman. YUCK! It stinks! Since then, I've placed dryer sheets in it hoping to improve the smell. We'll just have to see! Other than that, I think it's a great looking product for the price.

Nice bench. Just a hair lower than I was expecting, but the perfect height for seating, putting on your shoes, or using it as a "step up" to the bed for pets/kids. I use it at the foot of my bed. It has a decent amount of storage for extra pillows, covers, blankets. It's not big enough to replace my linen closet, but it will keep the clutter off the floor. The color is slightly deeper than the photo: think dark chocolate vs. milk chocolate. Feels very well made. The top is level and firm, it would work well as a coffee table (you might need a tray).

This storage bench is pretty decent but it's definitely not leather more like pleather. It has a good storage space. It creaks when I sit on it & I'm only 118# so it's not a weight issue. It's serving it's purpose. I bought the furniture insurance policy after I received it & saw that it wasn't as great quality as some other reviewers said it was.
