I am rarely disappointed in anything I get from Wayfair and in the process of staging models I order quite often but this is the outlier, sadly.  The blue finish is a super flat, matte finish- a coated leather and is without the dimension of the photo shown.  I was hoping for a look of aniline dyed leather as there are many of these type ottomans offered for a lower price point in the market place that have a nicer finish than this.  It is a nice weight and does seem well constructed though.
