This Pouf is so cute! The yarn is coarse, and has a fantastic crochet/knit pattern. The color (teal/blue) is subtle which is Perfect for my beach home. I'm using mine more for decoration (to pull a color scheme together) than a foot stool or seat. It's shape may not make it ideal to be a steady seat...Maybe for a child. The coarseness of the yarn may not be comfortable on bare legs. You can see through the pattern to the net-type covering of the stuffing. I don't find that a problem..cotton-type stuffing wouldn't need this, but bead-type stuffing would fall through the crocheted/knitted outside without it. I've received 4 Poufs from Wayfair...this is the most delicate of them all.
