i was concerned about the color called mushroom but took a chance on it anyway and I am sure glad I did, the ottoman is gray just as I had hoped for. it is comfy to sit on to put my shoes on .  I keep it in my closet so i can be completely dressed when I walk out and it is the perfect size for the area. 

Pros: no assembly required, comfy, lightweight but sturdy and really fast delivery time.
Cons: no cons
