this was listed as a leather ottoman. For the price, I was skeptical but planned to use it in my Grandchildren's room. Of course, within a month, they had nicked it in a small place. It was enough to confirm that it is probably bonded or faux leather but definitely not a true skin. 

Pros: It suits my purpose very well and is very attractive.
Cons: it is definitely not a skin leather. Feel the listing was very misleading.
