Just what I was looking for. We needed something you can rest your feet on when sitting at the couch, and something that could double as a seat. It is sturdy enough for sitting on. It is a bit wobbly, but I hope if I put some felt on the feet that will fix it. Like one of the other reviewers we only received 3 washers.  I'm still giving this a 5 star because the fabric is wonderfully soft and it's the cutest thing.
