Review on πŸ›‹οΈ Stylish OFM 161 Collection Beige Tufted Ottoman with Walnut Legs - Mid Century Modern Storage Solution (161-OTT2-BGE) by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Disappointing - could be a lot better

Received an OFM 161 Collection Mid Century Modern Tufted Fabric Storage Ottoman in exchange for an honest review. This ottoman was a royal pain to assemble and just had to be. There are four legs each with three hex head screws to attach them to the bottom of the ottoman. The problem is that the holes in the screw mount were drilled almost flush with the leg itself, so tightening each screw took forever. The holes were so badly drilled that it was impossible to hand tighten the screws. Since there was no gap, the bolt had to be balanced and attempted to thread it. I see no reason why these holes should be drilled so close to the leg. It doesn't feel like a tight corner, it's wide open so it took 45 minutes which should have taken 5 minutes. Really bad design. The stool itself is ok, more than I expected. The hinged lid doesn't reach vertical, so searching for an item inside means looking "under" the opened lid. Another bad design option is the side braces, which are built into the storage space instead of being flush with the side. As a result, a few centimeters on both sides are not usable, since the side braces have to fold into the stool when the lid is closed and nothing can be stowed there. Overall very bad design.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • No form required
