This I bought so when guests sit on couch, they can put their feet on Ottomon (pouf) if they chose.  Love the color, and I keep it underneath a beautiful wall hanging with teal color accents, so it is paired beautifully when not in use.  Beautiful, versatile, and while a bit more than I expected to pay, I don't begrudge the purchase for one second.  Highly reccommend this piece.
