Classical Notes Ottoman

This ottoman is designed for straightforward customer assembly. Our "partial assembly" requirement typically involves securely attaching the wooden block legs to the base. This process is engineered to be simple and requires no specialized tools, ensuring that your furniture is stable and ready for use shortly after delivery.

This ottoman is handcrafted in Illinois, USA, a hallmark of quality that ensures superior attention to detail. Unlike mass-produced furniture, handcrafted pieces often feature more precise upholstery alignment—especially important for complex patterns like this arabesque design—and tighter, more even stitching. Built on solid wooden block legs, this construction method ensures long-term structural integrity and a level of craftsmanship that stands up to daily use.

Yes, this piece is an excellent choice for space-conscious urban living. Its compact dimensions (19"W x 19"D) and clean, geometric shape allow it to provide extra seating or a footrest without overwhelming a small living area or studio. The "Classical Notes" design also works well as a mobile accent—it can be easily tucked into a corner or moved to the bedside, offering multi-functional utility where square footage is at a premium.

Because of its classic cube design and firm cushioning, this ottoman can certainly serve as a versatile surface for decor or refreshments. However, to ensure maximum stability for drinks or narrow objects, we suggest using a decorative wooden or metal tray. The handcrafted flat top and sturdy wooden block legs provide a level foundation that transitions easily from a comfortable footrest to a functional accent table.

This ottoman is upholstered in high-quality cotton, a material prized for its natural breathability and soft feel. While cotton provides a cozy, inviting texture, the durability of this specific piece is enhanced by its Illinois-based, handcrafted construction. To maintain its appearance in busy households, we recommend following our expert care advice: dust the fabric regularly with a soft cloth and address any accidental spills immediately by blotting with a mild soap and water solution.

For optimal comfort and a balanced look, an ottoman should typically be the same height or one to two inches lower than your sofa’s seat cushions. At 16 inches tall, this ottoman is specifically designed to align with most standard living room seating. Additionally, our interior design guidelines suggest that a central ottoman should be about two-thirds the length of your sofa; however, the compact 19" x 19" footprint of this piece makes it an ideal "accent" or "paired" option for smaller apartments or narrower room layouts.
