I use this for a variety of tasks in my small study - seating, storage, coffee table (with a tray on top), putting my feet up, etc. It functions very well for these tasks, and can be moved to different parts of the room as required. I appreciate its slightly smaller dimensions, as my study is on the small side. It's pretty well made, and the fabric is very sturdy. [...].Of note - the ottoman I received is not dark red as advertised (my first choice), but a bright and cheerful red. More like a primary-color red. And the inside looks more as if it's made of particle board (or some such) as it's a white laminate surface, not wood pieces. It's heavy enough to be particle board, too.All in all, it's just about what I wanted for the space, and I'm happy with it.
