I was pleasantly surprised.  I had read a previous review, and almost felt like returning it, the moment I received it, but it is really a fun piece.  With the ottoman came a card which decribed the artistry in making the product and the the history.  I think if you remember all of that, the piece has so much more meaning, knowing that a cultural craft is truly behind this piece.  I have decided to keep mine, but  as I know it, it is also called a poof.  It very much goes with my Bohemian me.
