What customers say
The Washed Velvet Square Pouf by Arhaus garners overwhelmingly positive sentiment, positioning it as a beloved accent piece that successfully blends luxury and functionality. Customers frequently praise the tactile experience of the washed velvet, noting its exceptional softness and rich, nuanced color palette that adds depth and sophistication to any room. The unique 'washed' finish is a significant draw, providing a slightly distressed, lived-in elegance that prevents the velvet from appearing overly formal or stiff. Functionally, the pouf is highly valued for its versatility, serving equally well as a comfortable footrest, impromptu extra seating, or a stylish side table when paired with a tray. Its square shape is often highlighted as a practical design choice, offering stability and a clean, modern silhouette that complements various decor styles. Many reviewers feel the pouf is the perfect size—substantial enough to be useful but not so large as to overwhelm smaller spaces. While the price point is acknowledged as premium, the consensus is that the superior construction and material quality justify the investment. Reviewers consistently report excellent construction and durability, suggesting the pouf holds its shape well even with regular use. The primary minor critique often revolves around the expectation management regarding the firmness; while some find it perfectly supportive for seating, others wished for a slightly softer cushion. However, the aesthetic appeal and perceived longevity solidify its status as a worthwhile splurge for those seeking high-end, statement home furnishings.
Know before you buy
Yes, it is sturdy enough to serve as extra seating. However, because it is a soft, floor-level piece, it is best suited for casual, short-term use rather than as a replacement for a traditional chair.
The cover is not removable, so we recommend spot cleaning with a clean, damp cloth and a mild detergent if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing to preserve the texture and color of the velvet.
The pouf features a blend of foam, cotton, and polyester filling, which provides a supportive but slightly soft surface. While it can hold a stable tray, it is not as rigid as a wooden ottoman or coffee table.
Because these poufs are handcrafted by artisans using washed velvet and hand-applied finishes, there will be subtle variations in color, texture, and pattern placement. This ensures that your specific piece has a one-of-a-kind character.
The pouf measures 16 inches wide by 16 inches deep by 16 inches high, making it a compact square shape that fits easily into corners or under console tables.
