The good: it's very versatile, the storage is great, and the overall design is excellent. We searched for a looong time to find something that fit our space and storage needs and this was perfect. A rare find in that respect. We were crazy about it when we first got it. It's very, very firm and I have a bad back and it was perfect even for sleeping. But you'd better like firm...Now for the bad: the quality of materials and workmanship is incredibly, incredibly shoddy. After two months, the hinge on the ottoman had completely bent and you couldn't open the top. We took it to a furniture repair expert and he said there was little that could be done because you can't put new screws into what he called "cardboard." He wound up putting along piano hinge on it, but I'm not sure how long this will last. I agree with the poster who said this will look ten years old in a year. Very, very cheap stuff. Not worth the money. Not even close. Keep shopping.
