Fantastic purchase: don't hesitate to buy. It's got clean lines, looks sleek, and functions well. Structure makes function. And this one had everything I needed: a place to rest my feet at perfect armchair height, inside storage for books and a throw, a tray for my drink or snack plate when I needed it, and the sleek, contemporary styling to blend in perfectly with my white, slip-covered sofa without stealing the show. I'm using it as a footrest, part of a coffee table when needed, and for spare seating, when necessary. The seat is softer than other ottomans I've purchased. The style is good looking and comfortable. I give two thumbs up for this ottoman. If you're on the fence, it's all good. Just buy one.
