I love this ottoman.  It is not really for sitting on, it is more of a fabric coffee table.  It suits the purpose of being able to place drinks on top to where they do not fall over.  The fabric is nicer than pictured.  It is easy to move around, but stays in place if it is on carpet.  I bought it for my mother-in-law who has Alzheimer's and it has already had liquid spilled on it.  As long as you take care of it in a timely manner, the fabric does not absorb the liquid.  There are no legs underneath for her to stub her toes on.  It is working perfectly for us.
