The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it was missing 4 screws making it slightly less stable to sit on. We don't sit on it so its fine for us. We were looking for a brown ottoman for our bedroom and this ottoman turned out to be the perfect in color, size and quality. We use it as a foot rest and a table top for our dinner plates while we watch TV. Its not too tufted so we can place glasses on it without them toppling over. The bonded leather quality looks very good, not cheap at all and easy to wipe off spills leaving no stains. The color is exactly as shown, a dark brown, It was very easy to assemble and is very stable.
