I got the sort of butterscotch colored version of this - very easy to put together and adds a great statement to the room. You can definitely tell it's not real leather, but for the price this is a great piece. I put a throw and a wood tray over part of it to add texture and it really brings my room together. I love that it's both a table and a footrest. It's sturdy enough on the padded area to place a glass.
