- Can it be used as a coffee table?
- Yes. The flat top is wide and firm enough to hold a tray, books or drinks. Use coasters, since leather can mark from heat and spills.
- Is the leather real?
- Simpli Home describes the upholstery as leather. It is a finished leather surface rather than a soft aniline hide, so it wipes clean but feels firmer.
- How many people can sit on it?
- Two adults can sit comfortably on the 33.5-inch width. It is best treated as occasional seating, not a sofa replacement.
- Does it need assembly?
- It arrives mostly assembled, with the legs to attach. Expect to need a second person to flip it upright because of the weight.
- How does it compare with a fabric pouffe?
- It is larger, firmer and easier to clean than most fabric pouffes, but heavier and less plush. Choose it if you want a table-and-seat piece; choose fabric for a soft footrest.
- Will it fit in a small apartment?
- Measure first. At about 33.5 by 17.3 inches it needs clear floor space, and its height makes it read as a table rather than a low accent piece.
