4 1/2 really. I love Snowbelle! My dog keeps trying to drag it over to me like its one of her stuffies! This ottoman is nice and big without taking up half of a room. Perfect for sitting on or putting your feet up on and can also handle serving trays. The 1/2 star is only because it is very hard to clean. My vacuum just doesnt have enough suction to get the little specs of dirt and stuff on it. I take it outside and try to brush it off but still not great results. Am going to try a more powerful hand vac and see if that works. Fingers crossed.
