This piece is the "have your cake and eat it too." The embodiment of versatility. Use it as an ottoman for your Lucy. Add a cushion to make it a sitting stool when uninvited company comes to the door during Thanksgiving dinner and you require emergency seating. Add a lamp and a copy of Horse and Hound and you've got yourself a side table. Turn it upside down, add a toddler and you've got a playpen. Just kidding.
