Got this for my living room. Use it to hold extra pillows and blankets. The bonded leather feels and looks great. I have really nice dark brown leather couches and I was afraid this ottoman would look cheap along side them. But I was wrong, it looks great in the living room. The bonded leather does have a "shiny sheen" look to them, but it feels really great and I think the "sheen" gives it a more expensive look. If you want a flat or matte brown ottoman, look elsewhere. I would say this is a medium-large ottoman and if you're looking for something to store some pillows, blankets or other miscellaneous items, this may be for you.
