Clendenin Ottoman

Yes, round ottomans are often preferred by families with toddlers. Unlike traditional coffee tables with hard, sharp corners, this piece features soft, upholstered edges and a round silhouette, significantly reducing the risk of bumps and bruises for little ones learning to navigate the room. Its sturdy, no-leg design also provides a stable base for casual seating in a high-traffic family environment.

Absolutely. Measuring just 17 inches in diameter with a 16.5-inch height, this ottoman is specifically designed for compact living. Its round shape and legless, low-profile design help maintain an open feel in smaller rooms by allowing for easy traffic flow. The braided design adds a sophisticated, contemporary texture that makes it a high-impact decorative accent without overwhelming a tight floor plan.

Customer assembly is required for this ottoman. While it is designed for straightforward setup, we recommend carefully reviewing the included instructions upon delivery. To prepare your space, ensure you have a clear, flat area for assembly to prevent any accidental snags to the velvet during the process.

Yes, the braided Clendenin ottoman is versatile enough to be used for casual seating. Its contemporary design and dense upholstered construction make it a functional and stylish "perch" for guests. Because it is compact and easy to move, it can be quickly transitioned from a footrest to an extra seat whenever you need to accommodate more people in your living room.

For maximum comfort, an ottoman should ideally be the same height as your sofa’s seat cushions or up to two inches lower. At 16.5 inches tall, this ottoman is perfectly scaled to pair with most contemporary sofas, which typically have a seat height of approximately 18 inches. This slight height difference ensures it serves as an ergonomic footrest while maintaining a balanced visual profile in your living area.

To keep the sleek velvet upholstery looking its best, our care guidelines recommend regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth to prevent debris from settling into the fabric. For minor spills or stains, use a clean rag with warm water and a light detergent, being careful to blot rather than rub. Because velvet has a distinct nap, you can gently brush the surface with a soft-bristled brush after cleaning to restore its original luster and texture.

While the upholstered velvet surface is soft and plush, it can easily function as a coffee table substitute. To ensure stability for drinks or decorative items, we recommend placing a flat-bottomed decorative tray on top. This creates a firm, level surface while protecting the fabric from direct contact with moisture or heat, allowing the piece to serve as a multi-functional centerpiece for entertaining.
