I was expecting the stool to be more of a fluffy flokati, but it definitely is more faux fur. It still looks nice, but it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. It will sit next to our bed so that my aging cat can make it on the bed more easily, so it will be fine. I will say that I stood on the stool and almost fell over-it is a little tippy with only three legs. Again, not a big deal since I won't be using it to stand on, but definitely worth mentioning!
