I saw the one star review, and wanted to share my more positive experience. I have had my Costura Ottoman (in bone colored linen) for almost two years and it is holding up well. Perhaps it's because mine is a one-human, 3-cat household. But it is used basically as part of my couch, and also as a perch for a tray with laptop. one visitor commented on how nice it is: the design is standout sleek.

Fabric damage is showing a worn patch (where one foot rested) after normal use. We purchased the Costura Ottoman in Ducale Wool, Charcoal at the Chicago store ($1000). We picked this higher-priced fabric because we were told it would last longer. When I contacted our sales agent to ask about what we should do (after a patch of ware showed), she was unable to follow-up, said there was no reply from the manufacture and she didn't have any further suggestions. Now we have a patch that has the fabric showing a slightly thread-bare part, just from normal use. Since this is the only part with any ware mark, I think it was from an inferior part of the Ducale Wool weave. The ottoman is designed to allow for a replacement cushion and we asked about ordering one. I would have expected DWR to back their product, even if the manufacturer in Spain didn't follow-up with warranty service. On the other hand, the ottoman is stylish and very functional. Too bad-- the fabric wasn't worth the extra cost. Thank goodness we only bought the Ottoman, and not the full sofa-set, as we had originally planned. I can't recommend the Ducale Wool fabric.
