so I just set up my ottoman yesterday. it is the perfect height and I am also going to use it as a side table with a square platter to put on top for when i am not using it with my chair. it is solid. so not recommended for sitting on it for a long period of time, your back won't like it! The fabric is well made and I did have to put some floor protectors on the bottom as it left black marks on my floor if i just pushed it. I looked at a few places for a small ottoman and for the price and style, this one nailed it!
