In person, the color is a little more "blue" than gray -- so I was slightly disappointed in that aspect, but overall it's a sturdy pouf. We added this to our daughter's room as a foot rest for her hanging chair. It serves that purpose well and is also a great extra spot for us to sit on too. Again, in hindsight, the beige option probably would've been a better fit color-wise but I'm happy with its functionality.
