After reading the reviews I was nervous about the color showing up wrong...I studied and stared at the photos and was hoping the GRAY I was ordering would come as expected. IT DID! The color is a very pretty heather gray. The ottoman is very sturdy and strong. We are using it in the family room to rest our feet alongside the sofa but have a tray on it for magazines, clickers etc., Strong enough to sit on as well, which we have also done. The tufting looks great. Overall very pleased....although it may not last years (the fabric as nice as it is may wear out?) it should last many! It is a great looking ottoman-has a very high end touch. Perfect centerpiece for our room.

Pros: great value for the money, sturdy, looks high end
Cons: none really-just hope it lasts for years...the fabric may not be that great long term
