The color is exactly as I expected, very pretty adding a pop of color to our neutral living area. Some reviews had mentioned seams in the padded top had started to open. I looked at the ottoman lid when it arrived one seam next to a button was starting to open. A needle and thread helped to reinforce, so far the seam seems to be holding. Happy with purchase, I can use it in foyer for small bench or as coffee table with small tray on top.
