The ottoman was easy to put together and is as described.  I did have a little trouble tightening one leg to the right alignment, but I turned the bolt slightly with a plier and it worked out fine .   The teal color looks very much like the color pictured and the velvety fabric is a fair quality for the price.  I'd say it is a good value for having storage.  As other customers noted, the ottoman does have a chemical smell.  I would be hesitant to store anything permeable in there anytime soon and am keeping the lid off to air it out for a while.

Pros: Better price than the same item at other sites.
Cons: Chemical smell is definite downfall.
