This is a very compact storage ottoman indeed. The “faux leather” adds some distinction and does not look like a cheap plastic alternative. Because I needed an ottoman to be of a certain height, I did not install the four wooden “feet” — contrary to what I was advised, presumably by the manufacturer thru Wayfair. (I was never informed why the option of NOT affixing the feet was a no-no.  Strange.). In any case, the ottoman slides nicely as needed on a rug and is a nice addition without being overpowering or obstructive.  I am glad I purchased it and listened to my instincts about the footings.  Two Thumbs Up!
