You know how, when perusing purchases, there's always something that catches your eye and you do multiple double-takes?  This leather ottoman "spoke" to me with it's rich coloring and the usefulness of purpose I remember growing up with my dad's living room ottoman in nearly constant use.  What great ancillary seating is provided in a pinch, not to mention the extra storage, and I'm proud to finally own one of such beauty, and at such a reasonable cost.
