I purchased the off-white colour and the ottoman is of very good quality especially for the price. This is a solid piece of furniture. The lid is stiff enough so it stays up in any position without slamming down, this in part is due to the quality of the hinges. I use my ottomans in the entrance hall as stools for putting on your shoes, they are well padded and comfortable to sit on. The leather is nice and soft. The stitching is all straight and gives it a nice finish. Couldn't be more pleased.
