This is a lot smaller than I expected but that’s my fault for not taking note of the measurements!  I’d read in the description that it could double as an extra seat so figured it was the size I’d expected it to be, I think it “could” be used as an extra seat, as long as you have a 2 or 3 yr old needing one!  As a footstool I can only put one foot on it.  As I say, not as expected but that’s my own fault, it is nevertheless, a well made mini pouffe & great colour.
