This ottoman-storage-bench-coffeetable is marvelous. I cannot imagine why anyone would complain about the genuine espresso leather. It's beautiful. I have a one bedroom condo with a combination living-dining room. My dining chairs are Maitland-Smith espresso leather seats. While it's true that this multi-purpose ottoman-storage-bench-coffeetable's brown leather is a shade darker, they meld perfectly into my eclectic decor.

This ottoman-storage-bench-coffeetable is a great value & looks great with my Beautyrest sleeper-loveseat, Queen Ann's Chair & Dining Set, etc.
