I was pleasantly surprised by this ottoman. I needed an ottoman or two for my living room but was disheartened by how either boring our over priced most ottomans seem to be. I got this one relieved to find something with a little pop but didn't have a lot of hope for it to be much more than it is. Turns out it's pretty comfortable to sit on and a decent size, I can actually use it for additional seating at parties!
