I  bought this ottoman at the same time that I purchased the Wingback Chair.  The ottoman is the perfect size and height to go with the chair.  It is sturdy and strong (my 18-year-old son can sit on it comfortably), and cushioned under the top.  The weaving is neat and tight, so it seems like it will be durable.  When it arrived, it did smell like the natural materials it's made of, but the scent dissipated in a day or two.  Very happy with this purchase.  A quality piece at a good value!
