Alexander Cocktail Ottoman

For an ivory-colored piece, proactive care is the key to longevity. Our experts recommend weekly vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove surface dust before it becomes embedded in the chenille fibers. Because the fabric is 100% polyester, it has a lower absorbency rate than natural fibers, making it easier to blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For households in humid climates or high-activity areas, we suggest a professional furniture protection plan to guard against accidental stains.

Yes, this ottoman is upholstered in 100% polyester chenille, a material specifically chosen for its balance of soft texture and long-term resilience. Polyester is a high-performance synthetic fiber that is naturally resistant to pilling and stretching over time. Unlike more delicate natural fibers, this tight-weave chenille is designed to maintain its structural integrity and "Ivory" luster even with the daily activity of a busy household.

To transform this soft-surfaced square ottoman into a functional coffee table substitute, we recommend adding a large decorative tray. Given the generous 37" x 37" square silhouette, a 20- to 24-inch tray provides a stable, flat surface for beverages and remotes while still leaving ample cushioned space to prop up your feet. This multi-functional approach is a hallmark of modern, versatile home design.

This cocktail ottoman stands at 19.5 inches high, which is engineered to pair seamlessly with most contemporary seating. In the furniture industry, the standard for comfort is to select an ottoman that is within one to two inches of your sofa's seat height. This ensures an ergonomic transition when using the piece as a footrest, promoting a more relaxed posture and a cohesive visual line across your living room.

The 37-inch square footprint of this ottoman makes it an ideal center point for large seating arrangements, such as the matching Alexander Sectional. Its scale is substantial enough to be accessible from multiple seats without overcrowding the "walk-around" space in your living area. The sturdy block legs provide a grounded, architectural look that anchors the room, ensuring the piece feels proportionate to larger-scale furniture.

While generously sized, this ottoman is an excellent choice for smaller spaces due to its inherent multi-functionality. In a compact floor plan, a single piece that serves as a coffee table, a footrest, and extra guest seating is far more efficient than multiple smaller items. Its light "Ivory" finish and clean lines create an airy aesthetic that can make a smaller room feel more open and less cluttered than a traditional heavy wood coffee table.
