I was attracted to the design of this ottoman to use as seating.  I am looking for some versatile seating options for front entry and then move these over to extra dining seating or work station seating.  The leather part of the bench is really low quality, which is too bad because I really like the design. I may try to add some mink oil to the leather surface to see the look improves.  The leather feel very thin in certain areas  The ottoman is 2.5 out of 5 for comfort as the cushion doesn't offer a ton of padding.
