We love this bench, and it was a great value. We use it as an ottoman in our narrow den, opposite our sofa. It is beautiful to look at when not in use, and very comfortable and high-quality, looks expensive with its Kilim upholstery. We even replaced our traditional sage green sofa with a modern orange one (Engage Sofa in Atomic Red, also fabulous) and it still works beautiful due to its variety of muted tones. Great purchase!
