The good lovely middle tone gray with slightly tweed or heather affect.  Good storage space.

Points off for those buttons which are poorly sewn off and will begin to pull from ottoman at first use. I tried restitching them several times until I gave up  in a fit of disgust cut them off. 

The tension that should keep the lid off just snapped one day causing the top to smash upon my forearm quite painfully. 

Would not recommend To household with small children or pets as both buttons  crashing kid could prove lethal.
