Promising review: "I've lost track on how many of these I've bought. I started with one for myself and fell in love with how soft and luxurious it feels. One side is faux fur and the other is soft fleece. Holds up well to washing. It is fairly thin, but man does it keep you warm! The fur and the fleece both stay soft and fairly in the same state after washing/drying (the fleece side does knob up after awhile, but that's typical for fleece). After I bought myself a throw, I upgraded to a twin size. Then I had to buy one for my husband, my kids, all of my dogs (note: pets WILL try to steal these from you), and even to throw on furniture. The feel is so comfortable and relaxing. A nd the price is super affordable! I have nothing bad to say about these!" — Mags

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Super happy. For the price and simplicity of this corner shelf I'm all for this product. It's was relatively easy to build — the wavy shape made it a little more confusing, but I built it in under an hour. It's easy to clean too, I just use a white erase and everything comes up. I've put rocks and books all over the shelf, so the weight limit is solid. Functional and cool I would recommend to a friend." — ashlynn

It may not be as cute or plush as other cross-legged chairs on the market, but this is the superior model for ergonomic sitting and is everything I hoped it would be. I have tried every other kind of non-traditional chair on the market (kneeling, ergonomic, backless, yoga ball, etc.) in an attempt to find something that achieves the same things this chair does for a fraction of the price, and can tell you that there's really no equivalent out there — honestly, I probably spent more money trying to find cheaper alternatives for this chair than I did had I just purchased it outright when I first saw it." — Amy K.
