I am on the waiting list for the ottoman too...because I LOVE this chair.  It is more like a chair-and-a-half...so much width and depth.  The cushion is very firm, but it makes the chair, and I am hoping it also means the chair will hold up over a long period of time.  I purchased the "Laguna" color and I LOVE it too...just BEAUTIFUL.  Quality is high - the chair is solid and all you have to do when you receive it is screw the feet in.  You won't be disappointed!!!
