We ordered two in the caramel color, which compliments what is already in our den.  Arrived well packed and in perfect condition.  After unpacking, the accompanying odd smell totally disappeared within 24 hours.  They sit on carpet and do not scoot when we put our feet up on the edge of the ottoman.  Very sturdy and also the perfect height in front of our sofa for stretching out our legs to watch tv.  Great purchase!
