The ottoman is as it looks in the photo.  The tufting and style fits our transitional/traditional furniture.  The fabric has a good quality appearance, is neutral, and coordinates with all in the room.  It is conveniently located at the foot of the bed to hold a quilt or pillows and sturdy enough to sit on.  In addition the storage compartment fits files. It was easy to assemble. For these reasons, and the fact that the price was right, we are happy with this purchase.
