I can't really capture in photos the size of this thing. It's bigger than I expected. Big enough that I can sit on it and still have almost enough space for another person to sit as well. It's nice, actually - you can sit on it with crossed legs, or rest your book on it with you. The space I had planned to put it in doesn't really accomadate its size unfortunately - I recommend you measure out how big it is before you get it! However, it's super cute and soft, and a little eccentric (I was nervous to let my husband see it, but he shrugged it off ), and perfect and I love it. The bottom is just a cloth velcroed on and it's hollow inside - I'm planning to fit some padded storage compartments in there for small items, with a small board to cover the hole when it's flipped right side up. At half off I can't recommend this enough!!
