We have had this ottoman for 3.5 years now and it is still holding up. I have two small children that are very messy. This thing is durable, stain resistant, and even for the stains it may have, the pattern hides them well. The only thing I would change is to give it storage in the center. It is nearly impossible to find and upholstered ottoman with storage. Aside from that, it is a great product.
