It's a nice pouf, and I'm happy with the purchase. I went with the ivory colour and it's a little more towards the grey scale almost. My only complaint is although it's a tight knit, it's not condensed, so you can see the fabric of the ball on the inside, and put your fingers through the holes to feel it. Luckily it's a sheer colour similar to the knitted material, so you can only really tell if you're up close to it.
