As stated by others, it is a little 'slick' looking (nature of the 'leather').  It is also a little dark (black) for espresso (exactly as the picture shows).  But it is a very well made, stylish, large size storage ottoman.
Especially like the hold-open in any position, non finger-mashing hinges.  
The wood legs screw on with no tools needed in less than thirty seconds each and come with several spacers if needed for uneven flooring.
Shipped extremely fast.

Pros: Well made, fast shipment,
Cons: None
