Bybee Ottoman

The legs are crafted from solid beech wood, a premium hardwood prized in furniture making for its high density and exceptional shock resistance. Unlike softer woods, beech is incredibly durable and holds its shape well over time, ensuring the legs won't easily dent or warp. This construction provides the long-term stability needed for a piece that frequently supports weight as both a seat and a footrest.

With its compact 25.5" x 25.5" footprint, this square ottoman is ideal for maximizing functionality in smaller living rooms or studio apartments. Its transitional style allows it to serve as a multi-purpose workhorse—functioning as a footrest during the day, a coffee table when paired with a tray, and a sturdy extra seat when hosting guests, all without overwhelming your floor plan.

While you can certainly pair this with matching blue seating, it is designed to shine as a sophisticated accent piece. Based on standard design principles, this rich blue velvet pairs exceptionally well with neutral tones like cream, light gray, or beige. Adding a whimsical, eclectic item like this is an authoritative way to introduce a "pop" of color and luxurious texture to a room without requiring a complete redesign of your existing living room set.

This piece features a 17-inch height, which is strategically designed to pair with most standard sofa and accent chair seat heights (typically 17 to 20 inches). For the best ergonomic experience, an ottoman should be the same height or slightly lower than your sofa cushions. This ensures a comfortable, level surface when used as a footrest and provides a natural seat height for guests.

Performance velvet is an excellent option for pet owners. Because velvet is a tightly woven, low-pile fabric without loose loops, it is significantly more resistant to snagging from cat or dog claws than materials like tweed or linen. Furthermore, pet hair tends to rest on the surface rather than weaving into the fibers, making it easy to remove with a simple lint roller or a vacuum’s upholstery attachment.

Yes, this piece is well-suited for use as a cocktail or coffee table thanks to its structured square shape and 25.5-inch width. To create a perfectly stable surface for drinks, remotes, or decor, we recommend placing a large, flat decorative tray on top. The solid beech wood tapered legs provide a sturdy, non-wobble foundation that can handle the weight of trays and serving items with ease.
