Absolutely perfect ottoman for the price, sturdier than I thought it would be and a comfortable spot to put your feet up. The one we received is definitely not brown, I would call it black, especially when it's compared to our brown leather sofas. Even when taken out of the living room and into direct sunlight there's no way I could call it brown, not even very very dark brown. Otherwise, we're very happy with the purchase.

Pros: cost, comfort, size
Cons: color
