Really like this ottoman. The cushion is a thick 6" and holds in place well between the sides. The cushion is more of a burnt orange than red or even Sangria as they call it, but it's a nice contrast with the brown wicker. I like that I could easily take off the cushion and use this as a small table for plates (but wouldn't recommend putting drinks on it as it wouldn't be flat enough). This piece was very easy to put together, unlike the rest of the seating set that this goes with.
