I bought this ottoman for the nursery to put in front of the rocking chair. I like how unique this ottoman is. My little one loves to play with the tassels and look at the colours. Speaking of which, like others have mentioned, there is quite a bit of bleeding in the colours which I was disappointed about, but I was expecting it because other reviewers mentioned it and you can actually see the bleeding in the photos. I wish the colours were a bit more crisp/clean. There is some "shell" beading on the top, but so far nothing has come off. Something to keep an eye on if you have it near little ones.
