Bought this to use as a footstool in the den while watching TV, but have made other use of it.  It is great as an extra seat in the living room which has a lot of gray,  and also in the hallway to sit on while putting on or removing shoes.  It is light, so easy to move from place to place wherever it is needed. Feel like we bought three things. 

Pros: Beautifully simple design. Seems to be well made.
