Purchased this to replace a large square ottoman that had some rips in it. We have a large sectional and I was looking for an ottoman that would more appropriately fit this space. I will say that this ottoman is a bit shorter than our last one, but it's actually quite comfortable. The description didn't say this anywhere, but the base and legs are black and the top is dark brown. Assembly was easy. Two large screws with washers go into each leg. Allen wrench included. The packaging was very good and protective.
