I am actually using this ottoman as a seat for my computer table/desk....(it is 1/2" glass supported by shabby-chic reclaimed items at either end that I found and cleaned up and embellished somewhat)...the ottoman is quite low 9 or 10" and well suited to this application.....the piece itself appears to be made exceedingly well--very sturdy and superb quality with a robust heavy fabric that is woven and has a coarse texture with very pleasing colors....it has sturdy turned wooden/painted legs which are thick and strong.....I quite literally found absolute NO FLAWS!---no joke!!
