Amalie Ottoman

For a balanced and professional look, we recommend following the "two-thirds rule," where the ottoman's length is approximately two-thirds the length of your sofa. With a width of 40 inches, this rectangular ottoman is an ideal scale for standard sofas ranging from 75 to 90 inches. Additionally, its 19-inch height is designed to sit level with or slightly below most standard seat cushions, ensuring ergonomic comfort when used as a footrest.

This ottoman is upholstered in a high-performance blend of 95% polyester and 5% nylon. Based on our material expertise, this synthetic combination is specifically engineered for durability and stain resistance. For general maintenance, we recommend regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment. For minor spills, the polyester-based chenille can typically be spot-cleaned with a soft cloth and mild detergent, though we always suggest testing a small, inconspicuous area first.

The tight weave of this polyester-nylon chenille is more resistant to snagging from pet claws than looser, more traditional knits. The gray colorway is also strategically chosen for its ability to naturally conceal minor pet dander or hair between cleanings. For pet owners, we recommend the added protection of a Fortegra plan, which provides coverage for accidental punctures or stains that are common in active households.

Yes, this piece is specifically designed to function as a "cocktail ottoman." Its 40" x 24" rectangular surface provides ample space to hold a large decorative tray, which creates a stable, flat surface for drinks, remotes, and decor. Unlike traditional wood or glass tables, this upholstered option offers a softer aesthetic that encourages a relaxed, lounge-like atmosphere in contemporary living spaces.

An upholstered ottoman is often the preferred choice for families with toddlers. Because the frame is fully padded and features soft edges, it eliminates the safety risks associated with the sharp corners of traditional wood or metal coffee tables. The 19-inch height also makes it a sturdy and accessible extra seat for children or a safe surface for them to interact with in the center of the room.

This ottoman is an excellent multi-functional solution for space-constrained urban living. Its 40-inch width provides significant utility without the bulky footprint of a full-sized coffee table. The tapered leg design further enhances small-space suitability by lifting the piece off the floor; this "open-base" look allows more of the floor to be visible, which helps the room feel less crowded and more spacious.
