If you're looking for something economical and elegant-looking, this fills the bill.  I bought it for my son, in order to help him address clutter.  It looks smart, is easy to assemble, and can hold his weight if he wishes to use it for seating.  I gave it 5-stars for what it is, which is exactly as described.  If you're looking for a real leather, heavy-furniture piece, this is not for you; but, if you're a student or person on a budget, this works beautifully.
