I needed a footstool for under my desk. I wanted a padded top and a low profile. This Ottoman fit my requirements perfectly. It has a nicely cushioned top wide enough to accommodate both my feet and it's only about 10" high so it fits very nicely under my desk. It looks just like it's picture; very nice dark wood, has a small storage compartment under the cushion, and the only assembly was putting the legs on. I was very impressed with the way it was packed and protected for delivery.Pros: Super easy to assemble. Item is just as described. Would fit nicely with any decor.Cons: No cons at all!
