I like it.  It was pretty misshapen when it arrived, but I was able to make it nice and symmetrical by bouncing on it and standing on it and mashing it with my feet.  I use it outdoors as a footstool and bring it in when it rains.  It's scratchy and rustic which is fine for outdoors, but I don't think I'd want to sit on it indoors wearing shorts.  Also, the color isn't vibrant at all.  I definitely don't need to worry about the sun bleaching it.
