The ottoman arrived quickly and thankfully, was just what I was looking for!  It is well made but much lighter than I was expecting which was fine for me as I want to be able to easily move it to the front of my couch when I want to put my feet up.  Even being lightweight it is sturdy and doesn't tip when I use it.  The website picture makes it look like a shiny fabric making the diamond figures, but it is a light colored cowhide type material that at certain angles appears to have a sheen.  I think it's a pretty accent to my family room!
