I purchased this pouf as a foot stool/ottoman and to add a touch of whimsy to a seating area in the master bedroom.  It is amply stuffed and quite uniform in shape. The lapis blue color is well represented on the website. The stitching is in a sturdy contrasting white thread and the only slight flaw in the quality of the piece is there is some back stitching evident on the top of the piece. If this might bother you, do not order. But if you can overlook this slight drawback, this piece is an unbelievable value.
