The picture shows exactly what the Ottoman looks like.  There is one complaint though. Whoever put together the instructions, forgot ONE detail, which had me wondering for a bit until I realized there is no instruction on where to place a particular piece.  It's up to the customer to realize where they go.  The wooden dowels have a number to show what they are but it doesn't show on the detailed instructions of where they are to go.  There is no place in the instructions that show the #4 woodent dowel. Tell the person that makes the instructions to look into it.  Please email me if you have questions on what I mean.
