I love this ottoman.  It is attractive, unobtrusive, sturdy and comfortable.  I got it at a ridiculously low clearance price so I am extremely happy.  I wanted something at the bottom of the bed to sit on when putting my shoes on but didn't want a long bench that took up too much room.  I don't know if I would have paid full price but that's just because it is pricey for an ottoman.  It is worth it in terms of quality though.
