I was looking for a bigger ottoman to replace a smaller one that's going in another room, and I spotted this Pouf that was the right size and color combo. I had assumed it would be a bit squishy to sit on and would really just be for putting our feet up, but I was pleased to discover its firm and sturdy enough to hold my 190lb husband. I took off one star because the fabric has a straw-like feeling and is itchy, so no bare legs on this Pouf.
