The actual ottoman is alright. It is a cool idea executed mediocrely. They are not all that comfortable. I made the mistake of stepping on one once (I weigh 170 lbs) and the foam has never bounced back to its original shape. It just has a foot imprint on it forever I guess. The biggest issue I have however is that the color is just insanely bad, nothing like the photos, and nothing like you would expect from a grey. They are more of a light greyish lavender. Very purple lavender which I would have NEVER chose. The only reason I kept them was that I realized it too late as I was in the process of moving.
