Color is a grayish-brown, which is exactly as it looked to me on the computer. That's what I needed, but for someone looking for a true gray, this is not the piece of furniture for you. 

As others have said, it is a very sturdy ottoman, much better than you'd expect for the price. The inside has enough room for a couple blankets/throws or a bunch of small toys for those with young children looking for a nice place to hide the typical childhood mess!

Pros: Price, quality
Cons: None
