This is a really nice ottoman. I bought the navy which I'd call a lighter navy due to some of the natural fibers woven in, but I love the look and the color. Sturdy enough for both kids and adults to sit on, it has been a nice addition to our den and has retained its shape. One note, it is pretty high so if you were going to use it as a "chair" to eat from a coffee table, make sure you measure.
