Suits my basic needs just fine. I like that it has room for blankets inside because I have a lot of throws. I no longer see the color combo that I bought, but it's a light cream/almost white colored base with reddish walnut top. The top is fairly thin, so I would not use this as a seat for anyone other than a small child, but it works fine as an ottoman/coffee table and the round shape is a great fit with my symmetrical L shaped sectional from Albany Park.
