Clendenin Ottoman

At 16.5 inches high, this ottoman is designed to sit at a comfortable height that is typically equal to or slightly lower than standard sofa cushions. This makes it an ideal choice for use as a footrest or casual extra seating. Its compact 17-inch diameter is particularly well-suited for smaller seating arrangements or for pairing in multiples to create a flexible, modular setup.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this piece. Our occasional items are designed for straightforward setup, allowing you to easily prepare your new ottoman for use as a functional accent or footrest shortly after delivery.

While this ottoman is primarily designed for comfort as a footrest or seat, it can function as a decorative accent table. To ensure a stable surface for drinks or remotes, we recommend placing a decorative, flat-bottomed tray on the 17-inch round top. This creates a secure, level area while protecting the velvet upholstery from potential spills.

Based on our expertise with upholstered furniture, we recommend regular maintenance by dusting the velvet with a soft cloth to keep it looking fresh. For minor spills, spot clean gently using a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Always blot the area rather than rubbing to preserve the material's plush texture and prevent damage to the braided design.

A plush velvet upholstery like the one on this piece can be a surprisingly durable choice for pet owners. The tight weave of velvet fabric makes it more resistant to snags from cat or dog claws compared to looped fabrics. Additionally, the smooth surface of the material makes it easier to remove pet hair with a standard lint roller or a vacuum attachment.

A round ottoman is highly effective for maximizing flow in tight urban living spaces. The circular silhouette removes sharp corners that can obstruct narrow walkways, while the 17-inch footprint allows it to be easily tucked away when not in use. Its multi-functional design as both a seat and a footrest helps maximize utility in limited square footage.
