East Side Ottoman

In homes with toddlers or young children, an upholstered ottoman is often a safer alternative to a coffee table. The soft, padded corners and chenille-wrapped frame eliminate the sharp edges and hard surfaces associated with wood or metal tables, significantly reducing the risk of injury during play. This piece provides a "kid-friendly" center point for your living room while maintaining a high-end, mid-century modern aesthetic.

This ottoman is upholstered in 100% polyester chenille, a material favored by pet owners for its resilience. Chenille features a tight, durable weave that is naturally resistant to the snags and pulls often caused by pet claws. Additionally, polyester-based fabrics are less likely to trap pet hair deep within the fibers, allowing for easier maintenance with a standard vacuum or lint roller.

This piece is particularly well-suited for smaller living spaces or urban apartments where multi-functionality is key. Its compact footprint (27"w x 21"d) provides essential comfort without overwhelming a room’s layout. The vintage contemporary design and tapered legs create an "airy" feel by exposing more of the floor, which can visually expand a smaller living area.

For a balanced look, your ottoman should ideally be about two-thirds the length of your sofa and sit at a height that is equal to or slightly lower than your sofa's seat cushions. Measuring 27"w x 21"d x 18.5"h, this rectangular ottoman is designed at a standard height that allows it to align seamlessly with most contemporary sofa seats, providing an ergonomic and comfortable resting place for your feet.

Based on our expert care recommendations for upholstered living room furniture, we suggest regular dusting with a soft cloth and frequent vacuuming to prevent debris from settling into the fabric. For spills or stains, use a clean rag with warm water and a light detergent or mild soap. We advise against using harsh chemicals, which can damage the soft texture and vibrant teal finish of the chenille fabric.

Yes, the rectangular shape and relatively flat surface of this ottoman make it a versatile alternative to a traditional coffee table. At approximately 27 inches wide, it provides ample surface area. To ensure a stable surface for drinks or decorative items, we recommend placing a wooden or metal tray on top. This allows you to maintain the comfort of a soft footrest while gaining the functionality of a hard-surface table.
