Really great buy
I've wanted to get this for a while and when it finally came it was worth the wait. It adds a lot of color to any room and goes well with just about anything. It's also very comfortable and great for guests. I plan on getting one more.

Cute, comfy, versatile..
I started with one persimmon stool and ended up with 2 in persimmon and 2 in midnight because I found the first one so practical and fun! It's surprisingly comfortable to sit on for a long time. Because it's a stool, it helps your posture by making you sit straight, too. The color adds a pop to the room. The only negative is that the fabric is a magnet for dog hair. I vacuum or use a lint roll frequently to keep them looking less hairy. I also like the fact that it comes out of the box ready to be sat on.

Cute, fun, cheap
Easy to put together, and they look just like they do on the picture. The finish on the legs seems to chip pretty easily, but easy enough to disguise as well. Padding is firm and feels a bit cheap.

Red's the new Black, I hear
So I really hemmed and hawed about this little guy. Was I ready to own a piece of red furniture? Did this thing have any practical value? And, what was it really for?
At the end of the day, I went ahead and bought two. Here's what I like about them and why I went ahead with it.
1) 2 together are still less room than an ottoman (i.e. they can fit in any corner - visually cleaner) but you can pull 'em in when you're watching TV and prop your feet up just the same
2) They can double as seats when you have more people over. I've had friends sit on them for hours without any complaints or drama. I wouldn't recommend sitting them on for days if you want to pull a Buddha, but they're pretty good for the occasional dinner party.
3) They're red. They're colorful. You're colorful. And if you're not, you should be. Don't hide behind your yuppy earth tones. Life's too short for muted colors.
All that aside, what I loved the most was the lack of assembly. Unwrap and you're good to go. Don't you wish the rest of life was that easy breezy...

good purchase
I bought this ottoman about a month ago and have really enjoyed it. The color was great and so was the size for my small condo. It is soft enough for your legs and feet but also firm enough if you want to place a drink on it.The price was also right. My only negative is that I find the material has beaded up on the top of the ottoman and I have to use a shaver to get rid of the beads

Great Stools
We love these great stools. We purchased four and bunched them up to create a ottoman in front of our couch. They warm the room, are comfy, and versatile and easy to vacuum.

Pretty Cool
A very comfortable and spiffy looking ottoman, it enhances a room and adds a lot of character. It is great for propping up your feet and if you buy more than one like I did, you can put food on it!

Amazing Ottomans!
This ottoman is amazing, I actually bought 2! You can use it to put your feet up, as a side table, as a seat, or simply as an accent to decorate. I would highly reccomend. Also, they are very sturdy!

Not a Good Quality?
I was very enthusiastic about this ottoman when I ordered it. Unfortunately next day after it was delivered I found that there was a damaged corner. Hole on the side, next to the end of the wooden leg. The edge of the wooden leg is edgy and I guess it was a reason why the fabric snapped :(
Color is fantastic, but I am very concern about the quality of the material and worried that it will continue to tear in random places.

Beautiful and Well Made
I'm very happy with this so far. I got it specifically to pair with a large plush mustard yellow chair, sort of like a bean bag chair.
The description calls it "persimmon" but as I have no instinct for what that color is, I would just call it plain old red - looks pretty much like your typical rainbow red.
It's quite firm but with a little give, the legs very sturdy, and I think as long as you treat this thing right it will last a very very long time.
I'm a little concerned about how you would clean the fabric - it's a little clingy. Pet hair and loose fibers tend to grab to it so if you have pets it could stand to be lent-rolled every now and then.
