We purchased this ottoman for my mother so she could have something to put her feet on while sitting
watching TV we were cocerned about the size because she has a small apartment but it is perfect and
it is also very comfortable.  We were also concerned about the height of it but it is perfect and the added bonus is if it is too high you can elect to leave the legs off of it.  Going to purchase one for us 
as well.  Lots of colour choices too.
