I do like this storage ottoman. Seems to be made well and is soft - both the material and to sit on, Hinges look in good shape and it was packed very well. The hinge is made such that it stays open when you lift it. Interior is black and roomy. It comes with dark brown/black legs not attached but they are easy to attach. My only complaint is that the color - while IS charcoal grey, is what I would call "earthy grey". It doesn't quite match my charcoal grey upholstered bed. Of course it's a different manufacturer so I wouldn't expect it to, but I thought it would be closer. It's a bit more brownish than I was expecting. I'm going to keep it because I don't mind so much, but if this would bother you, you should be aware.
