Our family loves this ottoman. It’s a beautiful teal green and the velvet is soft. We’ve had it for over 3 years and it still looks brand new. Mostly used as a comfy footstool for our large leather club chair but we sometimes use it as extra seating or place food trays on it when we entertain. To clean, lint rollers do the trick in a pinch (for dog or cat owners) and our Dyson V11 for a deeper clean. Warning kids love it!
