This ottoman is a deep chocolate color.  It's better than the picture on the website in my opinion.  It's really rich looking.  I expected it to be heavier, but it's lightweight enough to move around if needed.  They must have changed how the legs are stored underneath, because the bottom was not ripped at all like previous reviews.  They were stored nicely in a zippered compartment underneath.  I just got it so I'm not sure how it will hold up to two little rough boys playing around it, but at least there aren't any sharp edges and that's why I bought it.  Overall, I love it!
