The color is beautiful and the ottoman is light w adequate storage space for a couple blankets etc.  I had no trouble assembling it.  All you have to do is scree the legs on.  My only complaint is that it is too small for my space but thats my fault.  Its definitely an ottoman and not a bench bc its low to the ground and not very cushiony all in all theres nothing wrong with it but it isnt a show piece its just a simple ottoman w a bit of flair bc of the tuffted top.
