The perfect addition to a corner that needed some sophisticated, yet functional, love. The Girard Ottoman is a rich black that complements the living room. It's always great to have an extra little seat. We also use it to stretch our backs on. It looks of high quality and is quite sturdy. We got it as an "open box" item at a discounted rate. I was worried there would be imperfections. None. It's perfect and we got a great deal on it!
