Surprisingly my husband picked this ottoman out to go in his "crow's nest" (aka man cave).  It is really a beautiful piece although not what I would've picked for a dude.  It arrived well packaged, was lightweight enough for both of us to carry upstairs, and does not scoot around on our area rug when we put our feet on it.  The blue fabric is beautiful.  I have been seriously tempted to steal it and move it down to our bedroom to have at the foot of our bed-it is that nice!
