What a lovely ottoman! It was a risk when I ordered it because the first picture (with some books on it) looks like a cream color. In fact, it is a beautiful white (tips: you can refer to the white background pictures and the one with a light blue sofa behind it). The texture is exactly what I am looking for, trendy faux white sheepskin / white sherpa. Sturdy with high quality and the storage function adds value to my small apartment.
