This is a very nice ottoman! I love it so far and would definitely recommend. Like other reviewers said, it is darker and more brown in person, which I was counting on because that fits my colors better. The unmovable tray in the middle is black (in my opinion). The ottoman is constructed very well. It required no assembly and is fairly light (I'm a woman and was able to remove from its box with no help). The "cushions" on either side of the tray are very comfy to sit or put your feet on, as illustrated by my cat in the picture. :)
