Beautiful and serves its purpose to hold a tray, magazines or used as an ottoman or ocassional seat. It is large, so be sure to measure. The color photos do need to be updated as the color does not look as it appears online--it is darker and almost medium blue in person. I ordered gray and what I received looks more like slate blue but still more blue than gray. I am keeping because it still matches my blue, gray and cream living room. The velvety finish and silver nailhead trim is really pretty and a bit posh--just what I was looking for.
