Baxton Studio Manchester Black Bonded Leather Ottoman

We have this ottoman in our living room and it matches in with our decor and is very sturdy to seat a couple people to expand seating area. It also has great storage underneath for all those miscellaneous items. I definitely recommend it.

We have used an ottoman as our coffee table for the past 4 years due to having our first child 4 years ago and now our second child 6 months ago. An ottoman is the perfect solution for babies and toddlers. This is our third ottoman in 4 years and this one is by far my favorite because it is so child friendly. It is very well padded on all the corners so if a child falls down and hits their head or teeth it wont be so damaging. It is low to the ground so makes it easy for babies to pull up on when learning to stand. The best part is that the hinges are internal!!! I'm not talking about the large hinges that keep the top open for you but the second set of small ordinary hinges that keep the lid attached to the bottom. Our last ottoman had part of those exposed and I used to scratch my leg on them all the time. These ones are not exposed which is great. Children can't scratch their little cheeks on these hinges.
