Very cute and the fabric seems to be a good tight-knit quality. We purchased this to place next to the front door for a bit of extra storage and a place to sit to get our winter boots on. The ottoman feels sturdy when we sit on it. However, when you lean over to pull boots on there is no weight to counterbalance and it tips forward. Not  something I would return the product for but if you are looking for something sturdier this may not work for you.
