Why didn't we get this sooner?!  We purchased the gray linen ottoman and just love it!  Soft enough to sit on and sturdy enough for a tray or magazines.  Everyone compliments us on the look and seem surprised how comfortable it is.  Easy to put the legs on, but we did end up purchasing aftermarket sofa legs to increase the height only the match the height of the seating area that surrounds it.  Absolutely nothing wrong with the original legs, just going for a specific look for our room to tie everything together and make it cozier.
