Marrakesh GalleryGenuine Leather Round Pouf Unstuffed - Moroccan Ottoman Footstool, Footrest Cover - Boho Decor - Bohemian Living Room, Bedroom, Kids Room, Gift & Wedding

I love the look and feel of these poufs. The stitching and zipper are solid and it overall feels well constructed. The color is gorgeous. I would recommend to really overstuff initially, and maybe keep some extra stuffing on hand for when it settles in.

What a gorgeous handcrafted item! The precision of the craftsmanship along with the prompt delivery proved quite impressive. I LOVE the smell of leather because it authenticates the workmanship. In fact, this item has refined and strong stitching and a hide away strong and thick zipper so that it can be stuffed without popping open. It is a work of art. And it came packaged so nicely in a pouch with a special surprise inside with a beautiful “Thank you” statement from the seller. Will be ordering again! Thank YOU Marrakesh Gallery!

It's beautiful and well-made. The cushion is quite lovely and comfortable. It can definitely hold *a lot* of cushioning, blankets, pillows, etc. Highly recommend.

I ordered the (mustard) yellow color and it's perfect! Very well made and just beautiful. ZERO nasty smell just a bit of leather smell if you stick your nose really close to the opening. As it should be.I purchased the exact same item 6 years ago (different seller) for a lot more $ and it unfortunately had that DREADED smell. This is before Amazon started free returns and since I purchased it filled, it was way too expensive to return myself. I tried everything I could find on the internet and wasted a lot more money trying to get rid of the STENCH. You could smell it as soon as you walked in to my home and the closer you got, the more unbearable it was. The thing ended up living outside on my balcony for the next few years. At some point about 7 months later after a lot of rain and sun, the smell became faint but was still there. I was extremely hesitant to ever buy another one.What I just learned is that the smell comes from the leather tanning process in Morocco, where these are from. The "cheap" budget way to tan leather is as follows: It begins with raw animal skins being soaked in a mixture of cow urine, pigeon poop, quicklime, salt and water. The quicklime helps to remove the hair from the skins, while the acid in the urine and pigeon poop softens the skins. They are kept soaking in massive vats. In short, these things are permeated with disgusting processing materials and if the vendor lacks the machinery to properly treat them, then you will end up with the most unpleasant surprise of your life when yours arrives. It is very unlikely you can remedy the problem so you are much better off returning it.One of the BIGGEST flaws of the Amazon Review system is that often times you are "reviewing" products from different vendors and often times you are "reading" reviews of items from different vendors. However, the genius that is Amazon has finally provided us with an IMPRESSIVE hassle-free return policy on almost everything. Use it to your advantage if negative reviews have made you hesitant. I also think the newer policy cuts down the amount of paid-for fake reviews out there.In closing I will say that my Pouf was perfectly packed in a nice brown drawstring bag from Marrakesh Gallery (with tips on filling/cleaning & a cute burlap keychain), it is beautifully made, and also an absolutely outstanding value for the quality and price. I would highly highly recommend!I will update with photos but my cat is currently napping inside of it :)Also FYI. When you fill these properly they will not have any indentations whatsoever. They will look just like the photos. When I removed the poly-fill from my last one it completely filled up TWO 12 gallon trash bags! The fiber had zero color transfer or mold on it even though it had been outside in the elements for years. They are very solidly constructed.I plan on storing seasonal blankets in my new one but I will first put them in storage bags. That way I can freely stuff in any gaps with poly-fill. If you access yours daily or frequently, that probably won't work for you.

The Moroccan style poof is a “collected” accessory touch to my traditional coastal decor. The workmanship is high quality. After I stuffed it with extra comforters that I had on hand, it made a comfy foot rest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It even came with a leather snap thingy that I assume is meant to pull the zipper (which appears solid!), or as a bracelet.... but probably a zipper pull? Either way - bonus! Plus, it's like storage for all my winter sweaters (and the dresses next fall).It is smaller than it looks. I think maybe they either take the pictures utilizing that highly scientific method of optical illusion and distance, or they just photoshop it in. But the reality is this would look great as a doll's tufet. It's just a well made product and I wish those who made it well... I want you to buy one. Go on... get that pop of color in a functional Moroccan day dream.And for all you moms and dads, this is perfect sit-by-the-tub height. No sharp corners, to boot. Giddy up.

I am so impressed with the quality of the materials used in making this ottoman. The leather feels great and the edging is well done. For the price this is a great buy, after receiving it I was surprised that it didn't cost more! It takes a lot to fill it up. I wasn't expecting such a quality product and I am happy to recommend this vendor to anyone. It was delivered as promised and I couldn't be more pleased.

The pros: The poof is beautiful. Real leather with gorgeous cream coloured stitching. I like that the brown isn’t one consistent colour throughout which gives it more of a rustic look—like an old baseball mitt. It doesn’t come with stuffing but I just used old blankets and the plastic air balloon things that cone with amazon packaging and it works fine, though I should stuff it better as it’s a little lopsided (but that’s my fault).The con: maybe it’s the chemical they tanned the leather with but there was a very strong chemical like odour for the longest time that I kept the pouf outside to air out on my balcony for over a week. Can’t remember how long now but maybe 10 or so days? If you left it inside the whole room would smell like the chemical. Tip: turn it inside out a few days to help air out faster. I even rubbed it with water and vinegar which I think helped. Sone of the stitching by the zipper unraveled when I turned it inside out so I had to restrict it myself. Not a big deal. I contacted customer service and there were very responsive and helpful and even sent me a new pouf because of my experience! 5 stars for them! The extra pouf took a whole to come because it was being shipped from so far away but it was still a much appreciated gesture.Good news, the chemical smell is now gone and it just a nice soft smell of leather remains which is only noticeable if you put your nose up to the pouf.I’d recommend this pouf but maybe keep it in your garage for a few days if you experience sone tying similar.

Took a few old blankets to stuff, but works and looks great!

I love this leather pouf. Mine has a lovely slight colour variation, but is mostly tan as advertised. It is soft and quite thick, with a strong zipper. I stuffed mine with old blankets and towels, and it looks perfect. It took a lot to fill it to an even shape, but what a great way to get rid of ugly old items from my linen cupboard! It had a really nice new leather smell for a couple of days that seems to be gone now. Do watch the zipper if you have wood floors. You can't drag the pouf to move it unless you cap or coat the zipper tab with tape or a rubber cap or it will scratch the floor. My friend paid three times this amount for a similar pouf, and on comparison, mine is just as nice! Only difference is hers came with some stuffing in it which is not as nice and even as my DIY stuffing. This is a great buy. I am extremely pleased with it!

Just found out while stuffing that the product has a lot of cuts and discolouration in a place or two. It's a shame because I have another order coming soon from the same seller. I actually loved the product otherwise :( I might return this one and ask for a replacement because for the price I paid, I cannot afford an old looking item.

Beautifully made, a bit tough to stuff but that’s expected. I know it will last a very long time.
