I really like this ottoman. It is sturdy, well built and easy to assemble. The tacking around the edges gives it a classy look. The only thing that stood me from giving it a 5 star is the cream color. It leans to the beige/gray side of cream rather than to the white/yellow side and looks a bit dull against the creams in our chair/rug. Hard to see that on this photo, I think. The black would look super classy if that's what your are looking for!
