The ottoman is nice and serves its purpose.  The top is not as flat as in the picture.  It's a little more plush with more indentation from the center button.  Also, the wooden feet are lighter; more a dark honey color.  There was minor damage when the ottoman arrived.  The lid was not secured during packaging, and the movement during shipping caused one of the feet/knobs attached to the lid to break off.  This exposed screw made a small tear in the leather on the rim of the base.

Pros: looks nice, fast shipping
Cons: lid not secure during shipping, causing damage
