Messina Lift-Top Storage Ottoman Bench with Faux-Leather Upholstery and Nailhead Trim, Jet Black

I was looking for a storage bench for our bedroom to hold extra pillows and blankets but didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg, so I took a chance on this one. The negative reviews seemed centered around the leather ones, and I was getting the gray cloth. It arrived totally assembled aside from the legs, and those were very easy to just screw on. No flaws in the fabric or anything. If you’re looking for comfort, this isn’t it - it’s pretty hard. But it’s also fairly lightweight, so you likely wouldn’t have to worry much about getting it up stairs if that’s a concern. Overall happy with the purchase and hope that it holds up over time.

I love this bench. I got it for my room to mainly hide my books while giving it a touch of style. It was between this and a bookshelf. I opted for a bench because I could also use it for seating as well. I love to use this while studying and just kick back and relax on it. My daughter also loves to stretch out on it and fall asleep. It's comfy for a bench and gives my room a touch of character. And it has loads of space for my bulky nursing books but could be easily used for linen and blankets. I was pleasantly surprised to see how sturdy it is.

I love how it blends with my living room. I have grey sofas and even though the color of the ottoman is a slight darker I am in love with it! It holds plenty and is a great addition to the window (seating). Everyone fell in love with it and wanted to take pictures sitting on it on Christams/New year's. My son even sits on it to look outside. Very sturdy and easy to move.

I like the look of this Ottoman, but it is not particularly comfortable to sit on or to use as a foot rest as there is not much padding on the top. Still great value for money, but I personally would rather spend $10.00-$20.00 more for better padding.

We purchased this a while ago, but I never reviewed it. It is much higher quality than I was expecting. Very nice gray material and it feels really solid. The top/lid is comfortable to sit on. It is much lower than we thought it would be, though. The last one we had was a good 6-8 inches taller. So when you go to sit on it, it feels low. We have it at the end of our bed and its a LOT lower than the top of our mattress. But we like it! There is lots of room inside to store things, the top opens easily. It was super easy to assemble because all we had to do was put the feet on. Its definitely a nice storage bench!

Arrived fully assembled, (cept for the legs which was packaged inside). I was expecting to have to do some assembling due to what a lot of companies make you do. Screw the legs on and it was ready to go. Very good quality materials.

Bought this ottoman while it was on sale for Amazon Prime Day. Looks even better in person than it does in pictures. It's very sturdy, very good quality. I would easily expect to pay double the list price for this type of storage ottoman. The hinges are very sturdy and do not get work out after repeated use. Arrived in one piece--the only assembly necessary was to screw in the legs.

It is worth the money I love it 😀

I was looking for something to store my winter PJs in at the end of my bed and wanted as big an ottoman as I could find. This has plenty of room. Thought it might be a bit deeper but it works. Arrived in good condition. A slight “new” smell inside so I just put a few bars of soap inside with my PJS. Also nice and low so hides the fact my bed is held up with bricks. 🤪 Looked a bit TOO low with my very high bed so a couple of throw pillows seemed to fix that. Loved the fact that it only required a mere 5 min to screw the feet on.

Excellent product well made and well priced. It is quite large and has a lot of storage space. Looks wonderful at the foot of our bed.

Paid $263.00 Canadian. The day after I purchased it , it went on sale for $100.00 off the original price. Amazon , after a good discussion , agreed to credit writer's account . We spent lots of time looking over these ottoman benches . This one is very well built. Very good material , easy to assemble , lots of room inside & an excellent height for sitting on re: taking boots off. Update Feb 2022- Still in excellent condition.

This is an excellent bench. Use it in the entrance of our apartment. Very durable, convenient for winter gear, and it looks good. Fabric is decent quality too.

had a wood structure, but too many drawers . This is nice a big inside , and storage is ample .
