I love this ottoman!  We needed a piece to add to our closet that 1) didn't stick out too much / take too much floor space and 2) was tall enough for my 6'5" 240lb husband to sit on while he puts on his socks.  Also, I wanted something in a fun color.  This is the perfect size for us, it supports my husband well, and the green and gold fit well with our decor throughout the suite.
