I thought this looked really cute and contemporary.  My husband hated it and thought it looked like something from an old lady's home.  It is exactly how described and quite sturdy.  I wanted to get the green one to sit near a lime chair but was afraid the green in the picture might not be exact.  I opted for the aqua one thinking it might have enough variation in it, I could pull it off but it clashed...reeeeealy clashed.  So, though destined for our living room, it is now in the guest room and our guests love it.  I will say you should give yourself a couple inches leeway for where you plan to put it.  It was a very tight fit where we first tried it.
