I just received my new Ottoman today, it's exactly what I was hoping for, love it! I bought the open box, and paid less than half of the asking price. We all love a great bargain, and this is a really great deal! It's in perfect shape, so don't be afraid to buy an open box. It's  a good sized ottoman (see dimensions), and it works well as a storage compartment too (it'll hold several books, magazines, and a throw) . The leather is smooth, supple, and rick looking! The dark wood feet are easy to screw on, and the flush of the piece is perfect for that side chair, or sofa. You'll love it, I sure do.
