I should have read more closely concerning where the reviewers were using this bench. The majority of them commented on how it worked so well at the foot of the bed! Yes, that would be the place to use it for the best fit. I bought it to use as an ottoman in front of my sofa. Well, it's very long for one thing, but that's not a problem using it in front of a long sofa. But, it is higher that the standard ottomans used in front of a sofa or loveseat. If you take the legs off, I think it doesn't look right. Also, since it opens for storage, there are hinges to look at if it's being used in a great room as a coffee table/ottoman. The storage inside is amazing! I actually think that I could fit in it! I started to send it back when I saw how long it was, and how high it stood, and because of the hinges being seen on the outside of it. But, when I saw that it would cost me over 60.00 to send it back, I decided to keep it and use it! So, I rearragned my great room furniture and it now sits in front of my sofa. I like it! Love the storage, and while it's a little too high for propping your feet on, I am ok with that, too....It keeps some stinky feet off of it!!! It's a nice product, but keep in mind what I have mentioned as where you might want to use it! Other than that, you will enjoy it!
