Purchased this to go with my 42” black velvet barrel chair which was also from Everly Quinn.  
The ottoman is not velvet -  it’s more like suede  the black looks old  faded.  The chair is a very rich black.  The ottoman appears as if it’s been used too. There was quite a bit of lint all over as well as on the inside of the storage area.  Very disappointing will have to return.
