This dark grey velvet tufted ottoman is absolutely lovely. It is very soft and comfortable with good interior cushioning. The grey is very dark almost black but when the light hits it, it seems more dark grey. I have moved it all around the house as it elevates any room it is in. Very elegant. I would highly recommend this item! It was delivered in one box and all you had to do to assemble it was screw the gold base to the top cushion. It took less than 5 minutes to do that myself. It is not super heavy and I could maneuver it myself.
