For the price I thought this was a good deal, as long as you're not expecting a brown ottoman. The color listed is espresso, but if you look at the Christopher Knight ottoman with the drawer, which is listed as dark espresso, that's actually the color you get. I set it in my family room for a few days and really liked everything about it but the color - black just wouldn't work for me. It's very lightweight and seemed to be constructed well. If you are looking for a dark espresso - black - ottoman for not a lot of money I would recommend this. I was very impressed with Great Offer Stock for their quick return action and for refunding me the shipping cost for the return.
