I don't usually review a lot but I'm so happy about this piece. It was a great value for the size considering ottomans are crazy expensive these days. So happy with this website as well fast shipping and everything considering I'm here in Canada. The Comfort level is exactly what I wanted for a place to put my feet up. In addition the color is not blue. I have very good eyesight and it is definitely black. Exactly as pictured in my close up photo. I hope if you have any doubt in purchasing this product that this definitely changes your mind You shouldn't be unsatisfied and if you are well I'm sorry nobody can help you. We will definitely order again
