It is a nice accent piece to my living area. It gives color and spice to a very sedate living room with cold leather sofa and club chair. I have a wall that is Moroccan in appearance, and this ottoman pulls everything together. It is a nice uncluttered way to rest my feet, but don't ever try to sit on it or you will sank to the floor. This was a little disappointing. That is the only reason I did give it five stars. And I enjoy the untechnical way it looks. It has a charming hand work about it. Which leads you to believe no two are the same, and that is alright with me.
