I am a complete furniture snob.  I previously only bought from Pottery Barn or Ethan Allen.  I decided to buy this J&M ottoman after our West Elm one did not hold up to my children...It was pilling and looked terrible and had to be replaced once.  It looked tired and worn despite the fact it wasn't that old.  So I decided that I would just buy a cheap, pretty one and if my kids wore it out, no love lost.  So I bought this in mushroom and to say that it is GORGEOUS is an understatement.  The mushroom is like a mostly gray color with brown undertones.  It is so beautiful!  I highly recommend this product, and the price is amazing!
