The ottoman looks even better in person than in the picture.  I am very happy with it accompanied with a dark grey linen club chair that I own.  It is very sturdy, and my husband put his legs up immediately!

One note - When I opened the box, one of the side cross bars had a nick/small chuck of wood missing.  It had been damaged in transit.  I called the customer service number and they shipped a replacement part that afternoon.  No questions asked, no pictures needed.  Very happy about that!
