I am pretty happy with this purchase. The color is great, the materials although recycled (mostly denim), do not feel cheap or tacky. The pouf is very sturdy and stiff, with a nice flat base so it stays put under your feet. I am not giving it five stars because there were quite a few loose strips of fabrics on it; the strips were too short on some of the runs and they poked out. It was fairly easy for me to tuck them back in with a knitting needle, hopefully this won't keep happening. Overall though I must say I am pleased with the purchase.
