I am in love with them.  I had hoped for red but they were all sold out.  The beige was my second choice but it blends in well both upstairs and down.  It is portable enough to make extra seating wherever it is needed and I love being able to put my feet up in front of the fire.  There was no smell, bad stitching, or dirt as had been mentioned in a few of the negative reviews.  There is the sound of crunching when you put your feet up, but what a lovely sound that means, "You can put your feet up now."
