East Side Ottoman

Polyester chenille is an excellent material for active households due to its inherent durability and performance. This ottoman is upholstered in 100% polyester, a synthetic fiber known for its resistance to pilling and stretching. The soft, textured weave of chenille is tightly constructed, which helps prevent snagging from pet claws compared to looser fabrics. Its "Mushroom" brown tone is also strategically chosen to better mask everyday wear and pet hair between regular cleanings.

Yes, a rectangular ottoman is a popular and safe alternative to a traditional hard-edged coffee table, particularly for families with young children. The 28" x 21" surface area of this piece provides ample space for a decorative tray, which creates a stable, flat surface for drinks and remotes. This allows you to enjoy the multi-functional benefits of a soft footrest and extra seating without sacrificing the utility of a central table.

This ottoman is specifically designed for space-efficiency without compromising on style. Its footprint of approximately 28 inches wide by 21 inches deep makes it a substantial addition that doesn't overwhelm a limited floor plan. Furthermore, the mid-century modern design features tapered legs that sit higher off the ground; this "leggy" silhouette creates a sense of openness by allowing you to see more of the floor, which visually expands the feel of a smaller room.

Based on our expertise with high-performance fabrics, we recommend a "less is more" approach to maintenance. For minor spills on 100% polyester chenille, blot—do not rub—the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, our guide suggests using a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of warm water and a mild detergent. To preserve the soft texture of the chenille and the integrity of the vintage brown finish on the tapered legs, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

For optimal comfort and aesthetic balance, an ottoman should typically stand at the same height as your sofa’s seat cushions or approximately one to two inches lower. This ottoman features a height of 19 inches, making it a versatile match for most standard contemporary and vintage-style sofas. Regarding length, interior design principles suggest an ottoman should be about two-thirds the length of your sofa; with a width of 28 inches, this piece is ideally scaled for mid-size sofas or to be paired as a duo for larger sectionals.
