This ottoman works well in my space. It is on the smaller side so be aware of that. To give perspective I took pictures of the ottoman with  two different chairs. The chairs are about 16.5 to 18 inches height from the seat to the floor. The ottoman is comfortable and firm on top, but does allow room on the sides to reshape if needed. I’ve also used it to hold my beverage and tv remotes. Very lightweight, but doesn’t move around when using it. Overall, I love it, but be sure to measure and make sure it’s not too small for your space or chair.
