I'm very happy with the ottoman. The "antique" wood finish is gunky and rather ugly, and I'm hoping it'll wear away with a few scrub sessions. If it really bothers me, I'll just get some paint. Also know that the cushions have straps to help you remove them. I might cut them off after I determine how essential they are to lift the cushions out.
Otherwise, I like the ground clearance, size, storage, and comfort. The material is hardy; neutral but not drab.
