The only things missing from this purchase were: leaving the house and an expensive price. We really like this storage ottoman. The only thing we had to do was put the little feet on.  The color is a rich, deep chocolate in a quality weave. The lid is on hinges and stays open until you close it. It serves double duty in our house because with five grandchildren, moms and dads we are always in need of extra seating. Just make sure"chubbed out" people don't sit on it. The weight capacity is 200 pounds. 

Pros: Great value, quality material, easy assembly and a lid that doesn't hit you in the head, holds books, blankets, throws or pillows.
Cons: None!
