Fortunately for me I have a friend with tools. I would have given this 4 stars except for the following; The holes were not drilled correctly in the legs, screws wouldn't fit inside, so they had to be corrected with a power drill. Then the top came completely off because screws were too short and some holes weren't drilled; so had to buy longer screws and drill holes. After making the corrections I am happy with the appearance and storage of my ottoman despite the block legs sticking out from underneath overlapping from the base.
