I can't figure out which side is the top, is this upside down?
Ottoman = footstool....can we get a photo of it in use, and another photo with the optional drink holder function?

Love your idea as a recycling project or what to do with all those annoying plastic bottles. Do you think you could make a bed for the house or a float for the pool?

You can wrap duct tape all around it - it makes it look better. Nice idea - I have tons of these bottles!

A neat idea, but a couple of suggestions: the upper bottles look like they would splay outwards with any pressure, so perhaps something cinching them inwards would be useful; also, a coat of paint or other decoration would make it look more finished.

It looks unfinished. A third of the top is missing and simple plastic bottles glued up with no decoration looks like a pile of trash or someone's attempt at modern art. Also it looks like this might be a bit tall and crushable. One should be able to sit on an ottoman. As for the height you must have taller chairs than I do. No offense but this does not seem like a finished project.
