I am so glad I made the decision finally to purchase this ottoman, it's beautiful. Very rich looking, deep chocolate color, it really makes a statement. You could not beat the price and shipping charge. I have a sectional and the size and height are perfect. The top is firm enough to use a tray for drinks on. The button tufting really gives it a classy, rich look. I love the feel of the leather, it's so smooth. The only minor thing was the smell which wasn't exactly a leather, or "new car" type smell, but more like something the leather was probably treated with. However, this goes away with time. All in all, this is one of the best deals I have ever purchased and I am thrilled with the looks and function of this ottoman.
