Supports the weight of a 5’8" man (my fiancé sits on it while he plays video games) and no signs of breaking the wood! I wouldn’t recommend doing this all the time but it was a nice thing to find out. The wood tray feature is super nice, very durable.

Promising review: "I researched A LOT of poufs for months, and finally decided to get this one based on reviews and for the price. It's a great size as a footrest for a chair/couch or a stand-alone seating option. The cord is thick and hard, and well-knit. The fabric underneath matches perfectly, and while you can see the fabric in between the cording up close, you can't really notice it from a distance. It feels like it will hold its shape." —bldrrr

I purchased the grey color, which fits into my neutral home. I purchased this for the larger size compared to other ottomans I had considered.
