This ottoman was as advertised.  I ordered the mushroom taupe.  Many things in my house are taupe.  I was worried about this matching my other items.  There are several types of taupe but I guess the easiest way to describe taupe is either warm or cool.  Cool having gray, purple undertones and warm having beige or tan undertones.  This ottoman is Cool taupe with many purple and gray undertones.  It is fairly small so it would not work in a large room.  And the fabric says cotton velvet, not really sure what that is but I think a better way to describe it is a cotton mock velvet.  It does not feel or look anything like real velvet but it is soft and seems like it will be very easy to clean.  The legs and caster wheels are very attractive and are probably the most expensive part of this ottoman.  Shipping was on time and product was well packaged.   

Pros: Nice color, lightweight, very easy to move around
Cons: fabric is nothing like velvet, not very expensive looking
