Size and colour as expected. Ottoman/bench itself stores quite a bit. I'm not sure about the comments on the smell inside. When dealing with synthetic materials, it's always best to air out a bit, as they are created with chemicals. 
Would have given 5 stars but one of the hinges has a loose screw that cannot be tightened all the way. I did notice a price drop after I purchased and customer service gladly gave me a refund for the difference. This is my third Wayfair purchase and I'm really happy with them.
