Duluth Leather Ottoman

This ottoman is built for longevity, featuring top-grain leather on all surfaces where the body touches. Top-grain leather is the highest quality cut of the hide, known for its exceptional resilience and natural resistance to the wear and tear of a busy household. According to our furniture expertise, leather is an ideal material for pet owners because pet hair does not weave into the fabric and can be easily wiped away. We recommend routine conditioning every 6–12 months to keep the material supple and prevent the leather from cracking over time.

While primarily designed for comfort, this square ottoman's 24-inch flat surface is well-suited for use as a cocktail table substitute. To ensure maximum stability for drinks and accessories, we suggest pairing it with a decorative tray. This creates a firm, level surface while protecting the top-grain leather from potential moisture or spills. Its contemporary tapered legs and solid wood base provide a sturdy foundation, ensuring the piece remains stable even when serving as a multi-functional centerpiece.

Not at all. While this piece coordinates perfectly with the Duluth collection, mixing materials is a hallmark of sophisticated, contemporary design. The warm caramel tone and mid-century modern tapered legs allow it to serve as a beautiful accent against fabric sofas in neutral tones like beige, gray, or olive. Our styling experts suggest that as long as there is a consistent design element—such as matching the leg finish or keeping within a warm color palette—mixing leather and fabric adds depth and personality to a room.

Proportions are essential for both comfort and aesthetics. This 19-inch high ottoman is designed to sit at a standard seat height, making it ideal as a footrest or extra seating. Our design team generally recommends that an ottoman be equal to or slightly lower than your sofa's seat cushions to maintain proper ergonomics. At 24 inches square, its compact scale fits well with both standard sofas and smaller sectionals without obstructing traffic flow.

Maintaining this ottoman is straightforward and ensures it can last 10–15 years or longer. For regular care, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. Based on our leather care guidelines, we recommend using a mild soap and water solution for minor stains and strictly avoiding harsh chemicals that can strip the leather of its natural oils. For residents in drier climates, such as parts of Texas, applying a leather conditioner once or twice a year is a hallmark of proper maintenance to prevent the material from drying out and to preserve its rich caramel color.

Absolutely. In compact living environments, every square foot counts, making multi-functional furniture a necessity. With a footprint of just 24" x 24", this ottoman provides the versatility of an extra guest seat, a coffee table substitute, and a footrest without overwhelming a smaller floor plan. Its "tall" tapered leg design creates open space beneath the piece, which visually lightens the room and helps a small apartment feel more open and airy.
