The color is as displayed and I like the size, quality of construction as well as the texture and weaving patter.  It is very firm and can serve both as seating as well as a small table.  It also maintains its shape after use.  Upon arrival, it had a small stain and the box it was shipped in had a strong smell and looked very worn, although the ottoman was wrapped securely in a durable plastic.  I was able to spot treat the stain easily.
