Just perfect! I used it in my client's living room for a foot stool positioned at the end of her sofa. Perfect size (including height) to put your feet up, but certainly sturdy enough to use for extra seating around a coffee table. You could even slide 2 under a console or sofa table to keep handy for extra seating. Very well made and excellent price! It looks a little like denim weaving and I used it for her coastal living room. Perfect for so many areas.
