This was the right size for our small living room. We chose it based on the price, knowing that it wouldn't be as high quality as some of the more expensive items we looked at. Having said that, it's not cheap looking but it doesn't look expensive either. It fits our large couch blanket, which was what we wanted, and goes well with our decor. It fits our purpose, hopefully it will last us a few years until we are ready to upgrade.
