I wasn’t a fan on pillowed ottomans. They never seemed to present well (in my opinion). When I got it, I’d just figured I’d just NOT attach the pillow portion to the ottoman; problem solved…wrong. There’s very strong adhesive black Velcro strips on the ottoman. No way around it, I was stuck w/the pillow. I was dreading having to deal with what I knew was going to look sloppy and how the pillow will always need to be adjusted so it’s not lumpy and/or just flat in areas when people used it. It hasn’t been too bad though. Their is technically a storage in the ottoman, but it’s more for like magazines or a small/thin throw blanket). I liked that the back goes all the way down to essentially be converted into like a bed (when used with the pillowed futon). In my place, it’s the last option b/c I have all sorts of convertible pieces that are actual beds…even my master bed looks like a daybed but it converts to a king. I thought this would be the chair everyone would fight for, but- people tend to move the ottoman away and use it as a chair and others just use the chair. I use the ottoman and chair together (like a chaise) while reading books to my toddler, and the sleeping option has been used twice but while they said it was comfortable…the person was well over 6ft and hadn’t received all the other convertible pieces (being still shipped) yet, and if you’ve been reading my reviews…the grey futon was a joke and didn’t count. Everyone at least agrees that it’s a great accent piece, but my group of people tend to marvel over it as a piece of art instead of a functional/usable piece of furniture.
