Is the Safavieh Harrison pouf comfortable as a footrest?

Yes, the padded top works well under feet, but the leather surface is firmer than a fabric or velvet pouf. It is better for resting feet than for sinking in.

Can it be used as a seat?

It can seat one adult for short periods. The wood frame supports weight well, but the 17-inch height and firm top suit brief sitting rather than lounging.

How does it compare with a fabric pouf?

It is more structured and easier to wipe clean than fabric poufs. Fabric poufs are softer and lighter to move, while this one holds its drum shape better.

What is the cover made of?

The cover is leather over a birch wood frame. Leather resists spills but may need occasional conditioning to stay supple.

Will it fit in a small room?

At about 18 inches across, it fits beside most sofas and chairs. Check the 17-inch height against your seat height if you plan to use it as a footrest.
