It is nice but not quite as large or weighty as I thought it would be. It works for what I need so I will keep it. It does not weigh 25 lbs...unless I was sent the wrong ottoman. I would say it is 10-15 lbs max. It looks nice, I chose the gold, be warned that is is more tan than gold.  The fabric is very plush and seems sturdy so far.  I have two dogs that like to lay on it or use it as a launch pad and there are no tears or scuffs so far.  We have wood floors and it doesn't appear to scuff so it is a winner for us!
