Beautiful, comfy ottoman.  I bought it in the white boucle and really love it.  It's actually very flat on top you could use a tray on top to have a quick sandwich or you could use your laptop on it.  Actually big enough to do both if your laptop is as small as mine.....  I thought it was sturdy enough to stand on this weekend (didn't feel like getting my step ladder out) and found out that it's actually soft so I couldn't stand firmly on it - if that makes sense - very cushiony. Fabric is pretty.  Got a small dark mark on it that easily wiped off.  Very happy with it.  I use it in my small office and probably wouldn't use it in my living room.  I tend to like pieces with legs in my living room for a more formal look.  Would definitely recommend it for a family room, bedroom and even your living room, if you don't care about having no legs.  Nice purchase!
