This storage ottoman is just what I needed! It looks great with my black leather chair. It’s difficult to see how pretty it is in pictures because it’s black velvet. It’s very sturdy (I can sit on it) so I can use it for extra seating if necessary or put my feet up on it and relax. One of my dogs prefers it to hid own bed. In short, it’s a great value, very practical and attractive as well.
