This is a great ottoman! The color looks like the photos other reviewers have taken, not bright like the stock photo but rather like a medium grayish turquoise. It matches my living room perfectly. The legs are a nice solid wood that you could refinish to a different color if you wanted to. There's tons of storage space inside and the hydraulic lifts are very strong, gravity just barely keeps the lid shut. The top foam is stiff, it will definitely need breaking in, but that also means it will be durable. The ottoman was well packaged and easy to assemble. It's large, heavy enough to feel nice but light enough to move around in a snap. It's almost twice the size of the coffee table it replaced, yet our living room feels bigger, probably because the center space is more usable now and we don't have to navigate carefully to avoid bruised kneecaps. This ottoman makes a wonderful addition to our home and we're very happy with this purchase.
