Bertita Ottoman

Maintaining the sophisticated look of ivory linen requires regular, light care. Based on our material expertise, we recommend dusting the upholstery frequently with a soft cloth or using a vacuum with a brush attachment to prevent dust from settling into the fibers. For accidental spills, blot the area immediately with a clean cloth and a mild soap-and-water solution. Always avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the natural integrity of the fabric and the ivory finish.

This ottoman is an exceptional choice for urban living or smaller floor plans. Its 28-inch width provides ample surface area without the heavy footprint of a traditional rectangular table. Additionally, the "open-style" gold cage base creates visual transparency, allowing light to flow through the piece. This makes a room feel larger and less cluttered, a key design strategy for maximizing space in apartments and condos.

A rounded furniture piece offers several lifestyle advantages, particularly in homes with pets or children. The lack of sharp corners reduces the risk of minor injuries and improves the "flow" of the room, making it easier to navigate around the seating area. From a design perspective, the circular silhouette helps to soften the hard lines of large sectionals and rectangular rugs, creating a more balanced and inviting modern environment.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this piece. This allows the ottoman to be shipped in a more compact, protective container, which is particularly helpful for navigating narrow staircases or tight entryways common in older homes or apartment buildings. The assembly process involves securing the gold cage base to the upholstered top, ensuring long-term structural stability and a perfectly level surface.

The base is constructed from metal with a gold powder-coated finish, which is significantly more durable than standard paint. This powder-coating process creates a hard, resilient surface that is resistant to chipping, scratching, and fading. This ensures the ottoman maintains its modern, high-end aesthetic even in high-traffic households where the base may be frequently bumped or moved.

Yes, as a "cocktail ottoman," this piece is specifically designed to function as both a comfortable footrest and a central surface. At 17 inches high, it aligns with standard coffee table heights, making it an ideal anchor for your seating area. While the foam-cushioned top is designed for stability, our experts recommend pairing the upholstered surface with a flat decorative tray when serving drinks to ensure a perfectly level surface and protect the linen fabric.
