I love this ottoman!  When it arrived, all in one piece, I realized that it was much bigger than I expected.  But this was my fault for not measuring accurately.  I contemplated returning it, but it ended up being perfect as a coffee table/leg rest. I use a decorative tray on it for drinks.  The Deep Ocean blue was true to online and it looks great with the tan Serta Upholstery Franklin sofa and loveseat I have.  The fabric is similar in weave to the sofa set, so matches in that way, too and, so far, has been easy to keep clean. This would be a great ottoman without it, but the storage makes it really amazing.  It has so much space and holds consoles, dvds, controllers, etc.  I am so glad that I gave this ottoman a chance; it really has become one of my favorite pieces of furniture!
