I absolutely love this ottoman! I have a shabby chic sort den, and I was looking for a few more "modern" and "industrial" like elements for the space, and this is just perfect! The quality is great! It looks like something for a high end furniture store. It is sitting on a rug and easily slides around, so that you can put your feet up on it. The color has a cream tone to it, and the metal is a dull brown. I just love it!
