This ottoman will be going in our basement. It is so sturdy and actually very comfortable to sit on. My 1 year old son loves it already. I was a little fearful he would be pulling the “fur” out but he has surprisingly been very nice to our “doggy seat” (what he’s calling it) lol. Can’t wait to pair this with my velvet blue couch. It’s a fun piece I just needed to have and very happy with my purchase! Shipping was super fast and it came packaged very nicely.
