Ailanthus Ottoman

For a balanced look and optimal comfort, our design experts suggest following the "two-thirds rule": your ottoman should be approximately two-thirds the length of your sofa. This round ottoman features a 23.75-inch diameter and a height of 17.75 inches. To ensure it functions well as a footrest, it is ideally paired with seating where the cushion height is equal to or slightly higher than the ottoman’s surface, allowing for a seamless transition when relaxing.

Customer assembly is required for this item. Based on our expertise with this design, assembly typically involves attaching the base to the upholstered body. Our care and assembly guides recommend following the included step-by-step instructions to ensure all components are securely fastened, providing a stable and safe seat with a weight-bearing capacity suitable for adult use.

Yes, this piece is designed for multi-functionality. While the navy-blue velvet top provides a soft and luxurious feel, its round, 23.75-inch surface is ample enough to act as a cocktail ottoman. We recommend placing a decorative tray on top to provide a perfectly level and stable surface for drinks, remotes, or magazines, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a soft-edged ottoman without sacrificing the utility of a traditional table.

The round silhouette of this ottoman is ideal for softening the sharp lines often found in modern sectionals and rectangular rugs. Beyond aesthetics, a round shape improves the "flow" of a room by eliminating sharp corners, making it a safer and more navigable choice for high-traffic areas or homes with young children. The striking gold-finished base provides a sturdy foundation while adding a sophisticated metallic accent that elevates the luxury of the navy velvet.

Velvet can be a surprisingly durable and pet-friendly option. Because this material is characterized by a dense, tight weave without open loops, it is naturally resistant to snagging from cat or dog claws. Additionally, pet hair tends to rest on the surface of the velvet rather than becoming embedded in the fibers, making it easy to maintain with a simple lint roller or a vacuum brush attachment.

In compact living environments, every piece of furniture must provide maximum utility. This ottoman is an excellent strategic choice for smaller footprints because it serves four distinct roles: a comfortable footrest, extra guest seating, a coffee table substitute, and a hidden storage solution. The removable lid reveals an interior compartment perfect for decluttering seasonal throws, pillows, or media accessories, helping you maintain a clean and modern aesthetic in a limited space.
