We were replacing a similar elongated footstool in my office.  This had the same dimensions and was a perfect fit.  While the other one we previously had, was a bit more comfortable and soft, this one is less padded BUT offers a storage space in it.  This space, while big in length and width, is not very tall so you cannot store just anything, but perfect for a blanket or smaller (not very tall) items.
Overall, quite happy with the purchase!
