Mansfield Bonded Leather Espresso Tray Top Storage Ottoman by Christopher Knight Home

I received my ottoman in a timely manner with no parts damaged or missing. The dark brown and black were precisely what I was aiming for; and therefore, the reviews that I read prior to purchasing this product that stated cautions about the color scheme only pushed me towards taking the plunge. The leather on the product is very taut, but appears to be of a good quality that can take some hard-hits. This is not your plush lounging ottoman, but it is still an extremely functional and painless footrest. I could not be more pleased with the functionality of the compartments! The two flip-tops are also divided in the center of the ottoman, (so that the fourth edge of the table top has something to rest on evenly) which I absolutely love. The storage area is quite deep and ideal for hiding blankets, books, and I would assume childrens toys. The ottoman looks classy regardless of the configuration of the tops (whether they both expose the trays/both expose the cushions/or one and one). The lip on the trays is a good few inches deep, so using this area as an eating surface is a little unrealistic unless you want to have the whole cushion on your thighs up off the ottoman, or if you'd like to hunch over and be wary of the change in height. For all other displays, however, the trays are perfect. All surfaces are non-porous and wipe clean very easily. The only downfall of this product for me would have to be the fact that the legs (which are the only assembly; screwed in by hand) do not line up perfectly. To get each one to face the proper angle, some of the legs are a bit loose, twisting easily when touched. I would assume this is not a problem for everyone considering it is probably luck of the draw with the accuracy of the holes drilled; also, as I do not move the ottoman much, it has not seriously bothered me or made me feel like I made a bad decision.

I had been looking all over for an ottoman like this ~ with a lot of storage and the option of turning the top into trays. This is the only one that I could find. I was nervous about ordering it online without seeing it in person first, but took a chance and ordered it based on the great reviews that it was getting. It arrived 11 days after I ordered it. When I first opened the box, I was shocked by how dark the leather was. I was expecting it to be a dark brown, but the color I received is more like a light black. When I unpacked one of the tray tops, I noticed a scratch that was about an inch and a half long in the wood on the side of one of the trays. There were also some long threads coming out of the seam of the leather. I knew right then that I had made a mistake. After three days, the long piece of leather that goes around the top, covering the area between the wood of the tray and the leather of the cushion came completely off. My husband was able to glue it back on, but neither of us are confident that it will stay on for long. The feet are separate, and have to be screwed on. They also are not square - one side has an angle to it, so when you are screwing it on, you need to have it end up so that the angle is on the outside, so that all of the feet match. I cannot get mine tight enough, and have them line up at the same time. We have had the ottoman for about three weeks now, and there are already two spots where the leather is kind of stretching over the corner, and looks like it will rip. Needless to say, I am very disappointed in the quality of this piece, and will not be ordering anything like this again without seeing it in person.

I am pleased with this ottoman. It is made of good quality materials. The only issue I had was I noticed the trays were getting all scratched and dinged only two days after I had it. While investigating the reason I found a staple sticking up from the base where the trays sit. Once I removed it no more damage was done. Before you put the trays down check all the wood!

This ottoman is exactly what I was looking for in quality, color, functionality and price. It will go perfectly in my newly remodeled, contemporary family room. It arrived in six days, very well packed. Although I am satisfied, I was unaware that bonded leather is not actually REAL leather. In Wikipedia it states... "The actual leather content of bonded leather varies depending on the manufacturer and the quality level they are selling. In the home furnishings industry there is much debate and controversy over the ethics of using the term "bonded leather" to describe a vinyl upholstery product. The Leather Research Laboratory has said that calling this product "bonded leather" is 'deceptive because it does not represent its true nature. It's a vinyl, or a polyurethane laminate or a composite, but it's not leather'."

I love this ottoman. It's just the right size and height. It's a dark (espresso) brown. The leather is a good quality. I love the two flip trays and extra storage. I would recommend this to any and everyone. The only assembly required is putting the legs on.

I read several of the reviews, and was a little nervous about ordering this product. The ottoman's color is just as it is described, espresso, which goes great with all of our living room furniture. There were no defects upon arrival. The trays are perfect. The overall size is just as it states. This is not a huge ottoman, but goes great in a medium size living room. Plenty of storage space for blankets and other items. Very happy with this purchase.

This ottoman is exactly as described on the site. I was worried about receiving something that was black, but fortunately, that was not the case. This ottoman is true to an espresso color. Espresso is dark dark dark brown. The place where you buy prefab furniture color equivalent is brown-black. I don't know what bonded leather means, but clearly, this ottoman is not purely leather. However, it looks, and feels great. I recommend outlining the space you want to put it in in masking tape to get a sense of how much space it takes up. For me, it's a great substitute for a coffee table.

This is a great piece! The leather is super soft, and it is well made. The only assembly required is screwing the feet on. The wood is really dark. The inside is divided into half, giving you two storage sections. The top fits nicely being used as a storage tray or using the leather side (I currently have one half as a tray the other as the ottoman). It's really nicely made, and well worth the money. Great purchase.

Christopher Knight sure knows how to provide style. Very spacious for storage. Love color, and texture. Made my living room complete. Totally worth it.

The ottoman looks perfect, material is high-quality with lots of storage & nice trays. I was looking for a dark brown and it is black - I don't see any brown in it.

I love this ottoman!!!!! Looks very modern, yet has a slightly elegant edge. I fit my blankets onone side, and our family games on the other side. again, I LOVE THIS OTTOMAN!!!!!

This is a nice ottoman, but it's actually a lot smaller than it looks. And I mean a lot!!

I was super excited about this ottoman when it arrived, it was exactly what we had wanted to complete our living room. I have a 3 year old and a 6 month old and was looking for something that didn't have corners (baby proof) and that would work for storing toys/books/diapers etc in our living room. It was perfect for about a year and then it started to wear at the seams. At this point (about 2 years later) it has basically fallen apart at all of the seams and the wood inside has started to chip. I now am at the point where I need to replace it because it is an eye sore in our living room. I love the functionality of the item and I loved the way it looked new, but it definitely does not wear well.

When visualizing this in your home, be realistic with the measurements provided, meaning mark them out with something tangible. The given dimensions are accurate but by not carefully putting something of similar size in my room I found the reality too small and more appropriate for placing in a small apartment or in front of a chair, not a couch or love seat.

beware, this item is much smaller and darker than it appears in the picture. Otherwise, good quality.

We were looking to replace our glass and iron coffee table, before our granddaughter started walking, with something less dangerous for a toddler. This ottoman was perfect! It's beautiful, well made with softer edges and it doubles and her toy box. I couldn't be happier.

Great piece of furniture for the price

i bought this couple of years back and still looks like new.!!!!!!

We have used this for YEARS and it still looks fairly new. It’s perfect for kids because no sharp corners and it’s durable and stands up. The storage is handy for toys/throws etc. we just slide it on to the couch as a makeshift chaise on movie nights. The tray comes in handy too for impromptu takeout dinners. Easy cleanup too!

I didnt exspect it to be so heavy but I love the quality of it. Fits well with my furniture.

Nice ottoman with great storage and useful trays. The trays are large enough to actually use, as is the storage part. The bonded leather makes it easy to clean.

This is very handy! We used it our living room to store our afghans and as a foot stool. Then when we had company, we could flip over the top and the kids could use the trays as a place to eat. Great idea and it was very handy. Unfortunately when we downsized, it was sold. But it was one of the first things that sold!

Very practical and attractive coffee table. Good value. I bought this item for my son's condo. He is very happy with this purchase. I would definitely buy again.

This ottoman was the perfect size for our sectional and has held up very well (have had for 3 years now). I love that you can flip one side for drinks, etc and leave the other side as cushion to prop up your feet. It has a good amount of storage. We keep all of our DVDs in there (kids on one side, adults on the other). Works great!

Great product. Came in a timely fashion.

This is not very durable. It is wearing badly, the trays don't fit well. The storage interior is not well supported.
