Clendenin Ottoman

Yes, this ottoman is an excellent choice for smaller living areas or studio apartments where space is at a premium. With a footprint of just 17 by 17 inches, it offers the utility of a larger piece without overwhelming limited floor space. The round, "no-legs" design also makes it easy to tuck away or move as needed, maximizing the functionality of a multi-purpose room.

This versatile piece is designed to serve multiple functions within a home. Its 16.5-inch height makes it an ideal footrest for standard sofas, while the plush velvet upholstery and round 17-inch diameter provide a comfortable option for casual seating when hosting guests. Additionally, its unique braided design allows it to function as a sophisticated decorative accent in contemporary rooms.

This specific ottoman requires customer assembly upon arrival. While many of our larger furniture items include full-service setup with delivery, occasional pieces like this one are designed for straightforward assembly at home. This allows for more convenient shipping and doorway delivery options.

While the upholstered surface is soft and plush, you can easily convert this ottoman into a stable surface by using a decorative tray. A rigid tray provides a flat, secure base for placing remotes, books, or drinks. This compromise allows you to enjoy the comfort of a footrest during daily use and the utility of a side table while entertaining.

Velvet is often a preferred material for pet owners because its tight weave lacks the loose loops found in many traditional fabrics, making it more resistant to snags from cat or dog claws. The unique braided design of this ottoman adds structural interest that can also help disguise minor wear. To manage pet hair, which tends to sit on the surface of the velvet rather than becoming trapped in the weave, we recommend using a lint roller or a soft-bristled brush.

Based on our furniture care expertise, velvet requires gentle maintenance to preserve its sleek texture. For everyday care, we recommend regular dusting with a soft cloth. In the event of a spill, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent the liquid from soaking into the fibers. For deeper cleaning, our guide suggests using a mixture of warm water and a light detergent, being careful to avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric's finish.
