This ottoman is great!  It's comfortable to sit on.  Not too plush, very supportive.  The best part is the shoe compartment.  It holds up to 10 pairs, plus open space in the middle for boots or other items.  The inside also has this fun fabric pattern that I didn't expect, but really shows the attention to detail.  The gray was a bit darker than I expected, but I was worried the teal would be too bright.  I'm really happy with this piece.
