I love these!  I was looking for ottomans to add a layer of color and texture to our neutral living room, and these look fantastic.  They are a great height (level with the seat of the couch) and we often use them for little tables, as well as propping our feet on them.  The base gives a modern, slightly industrial touch, but the caramel colored leather adds warmth to the room.  The cushions are quite firm and could easily double as extra seating, if needed.  At first, they were on backorder, but once back in stock, they arrived quickly and in good condition.  There is a slight "leather" smell at first (which is to be expected), but it quickly faded.  People notice them right away when the come in and I get tons of compliments on them!
