I received this as a gift, but I haven't had a chance to use it, so I've been storing it. It can be used as a stool or an ottoman. The color, texture, and elephant design of the unusual tanned leather are lovely, and it will match any room and blend in as an interior decoration. The zipper on the bottom is broken and sewn with vinyl thread, so the contents cannot be replaced. Therefore, the price has been reduced. There is no smell or dirt. Size: Diameter: Approximately 37cm Height: 28cm Thank you for your understanding regarding home storage. Price reduced.
