3.6 out of 5I ordered this ottoman for my little dog to use as an assist in jumping up to the bed. It was listed as 21" H, and it was only 8" H. It is very cute, and it does work for him as he is still young, so I will keep it. Overstock.com should however revise their listing making it clear it is very short.
This is just a fun piece in my family room. My husband kept saying he can not believe I bought this turtle. Now he just walks by the foot stool and just smiles. Easy assembly....maybe a full 10 minutes from the time I opened the box and presto!
Fred is perfect in front of my reading chair - cute, conversation piece and just the right height at about 7" - not too high for my needs.
If non functional decor is what you are after, go ahead and buy this item. But if you want a foot stool that will hold up under day to day use, forget it. The bracings, to which you have to attach the legs or "feet", are not screwed on. They are merely glued on. I purchased this stool to use to get into my very high bed. After 6 months the thing completely fell apart. Also, the "nail head" decoration came off in one long strip-also glued on- and the buttons popped off left and right! Very disapointed because I really liked the design.
The footstool is pretty to look at, but not of any practical use. The legs pop loose from the frame when weight is applied. Some type of reinforcement piece should have been included in the design of the product. BAD! BAD! BAD! It should not be labeled as a footstool because it cannot support the foot/feet of an adult. It is pretty, though, and that is all.
Arrived in great time. Product was poorly made but put together anyway because we were really using it for a conversational piece. After a few weeks one leg came off (we have no children living at home) and found that the screws were stripped. Checking we found the others were loose also. Now trying to figure out how to fix the turtle. We've grown attached to him and have given him a name, Ollie.
We got this as an ottoman/footstool. Our kids love to sit on it and it looks great in our home. It was easy to put together except we had to make a couple of the holes in the wood larger because the screws wouldn't fit. One of the buttons came off, but we do have 4 kids and just super-glued it right back. It is lightweight and easy to move around for the kids to sit on. I saw similar ones for about 5 times this price.
Poor quality the turtles feet and tail started falling within months of purchase. Screws just stripped right off.

Unable to attach the neck of the turtle, because the thread in the base of the footsool was not there & now one of the legs fell off.
the leg came out of the holder. I rebuilt it though.
I was concerned when I assembled this footstool because the wood seemed to be quite soft. The head and tail could not be tightened down completely. Then one of the legs broke off ripping the screws completely out of the wooden frame. I am planning to send this item back!
I love this. I have 'Him' sitting in the living room, the kids use him to sit on, lean on or just use as a table for toys. He is so cute and we just love him. I have had so many compliments about how cute he looks and how unique. Assembly was easy but is not of the highest quality construction. I wouldn't use this for a true ottoman or put any real weight on it-I am sure it would break under those conditions. But, just for looks, he is worth every penny! So cute!!
The head & tail fell off the next day, then a leg. My husband glued it all the parts back on because I would not let him return it. This was an anniversary gift, and I was not very happy with the parts falling off before it was ever used.
Like the looks of the stool and it is comfortable. The color is good. I will enjoy using it.
took my husband 5 minutes to screw everything on and voila! my tortoise is looking fine! just the right height to get my legs into a good position when i'm reading. and the compliments! everybody who comes in has to try it and loves it. everywhere else for $59.99 and UP, UP, UP. I shop overstock then everwhere else and i always come back to overstock. what's the point of wasting my time?
Product was ok. I thought it would look a little nicer for the price.
The quality of this foot stool was good but when assembling it, it needed wood glue for the screws seeing the head and tail were loose and moving and shouldnt have been. Other than that, it was given as a gift and the person getting it was very pleased with the overall appearance.
Easy to assemble and a cute piece of furniture, however, the legs were easily broken off within a week of owning it and now we are trying to figure out how to put it back together so it dosn't happen again.
Other reviews tried to warn me and I ordered it anyway. One of the faux leather buttons was off when it arrived and the legs came off immediately upon assembly. This was my first purchase from Overstock.com so I will think twice before I do it again.
Easily assembled ,I used wood glue also.perfect for what i needed it for ,my feet. My little dog likes to lay on it and he can jump up to my chair easier.The leather looks expensive.very nice.
