Avocet Ottoman

Absolutely. With a compact 21-inch square footprint, this piece is an excellent multi-functional solution for limited square footage. Its versatile design allows it to serve as a footstool, a glamorous accent piece, or extra seating for guests without overwhelming a narrow living room or studio layout.

This piece features a frame constructed from plywood, which provides a sturdy and warp-resistant foundation. The addition of reinforced gold-finished metal legs ensures structural integrity, making it reliable for use as extra seating. High-quality details like the tight button tufting and even stitching are hallmarks of its craftsmanship, ensuring it holds its glam modern shape over time.

This ottoman stands at 17.75 inches high, which is designed to sit nearly flush with the seat cushions of most standard sofas and armchairs. For optimal comfort as a footrest, an ottoman should be equal to or slightly lower than your sofa's seat height. This scale ensures a seamless ergonomic transition when you’re kicking back to relax.

To maintain the subtle sheen and "hand" of the velvet, our expertise suggests regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to prevent dust from settling into the pile. For accidental spills, the Rooms to Go care guide recommends blotting immediately with a clean, dry cloth and using only mild soap and water for spot cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals, which can damage the delicate luster of the fabric.

Velvet is often a preferred choice for pet owners because it is a "flat weave" fabric. Unlike looped fabrics that can snag on claws, the dense, low pile of this sumptuous velvet makes it highly resistant to pulls from cats or dogs. Additionally, pet hair tends to sit on the surface rather than becoming woven into the fibers, allowing for easy removal with a lint roller or a vacuum’s upholstery attachment.

While the all-over button tufting provides a sumptuously soft surface for seating, you can easily transition it into a functional cocktail table by adding a decorative tray. A rigid tray creates the flat, stable surface needed for drinks or decor while protecting the velvet fabric from potential spills.

Yes, this item requires customer assembly. Most of the structure arrives intact, but you will need to attach the lustrous gold-finished metal legs to the plywood base. This simple setup ensures the piece remains secure and stable for long-term use as both a footrest and a guest seat.
