I find the material to be rather 'harsh' and doesn't feel very good under bare feet and legs.  It also collapses and changes shape, so I am constantly moving it around to try and puff it up again.  If they were to cover it in microsuede instead of the currect material (which feels like tent canvas), it would be much more comfortable.  I wouldn't purchase it again, knowing that the material was so rough and that it doesn't keep it's shape as an ottoman.
