The size of the ottoman is great for extra seating, lounging on my couch and a good platform for the cat to sleep on. The fabric is holding well to the cat's claws too. Access to the inside of the ottoman underneath has a zipper. However, due to the placement of the zipper and the wooden legs (that are twisted into place) broke the zipper head, but one hardly ever needs to get inside once the ottoman arrives. Speaking of which, the shipping speed was fast! Within two days! This particular piece was a clearance item too! Great quality for the money!
