The wheels come off, some review said they didn't... or maybe it was an answer to a question... anyways, get a phillips head screwdriver and pop those suckers off if you aren't looking for that height or rolling function. I've been sitting on it for a couple months as a seat for my computer and I am about 285 with a bad habit of sitting cross-legged. Barely a squeak, and only the first couple times as it settled after assembly. Thing is built well enough, but not very comfortable. I suspect even as a long term foot rest you may need a new pillow cover for it. Since I think most people just use it as temporary seating or a 'coffee table' using a tray, this isn't so much a problem as a minor setback, but then... I can sew. The color is nice, and doesn't seem to rub off or fade easily and the feet were stained under the wheels so they pop right off and match. The zipper underneath where the legs are stored for shipping is decent enough quality and a large enough space that small Christmas gifts could easily be stored here, or snacks, or... get creative, just nothing too heavy because it's a thinner fabric.
Tiny wheels had to go
