Platform Teak Outdoor Ottoman with Charcoal Cushion

This item does not require customer assembly. It is delivered fully structured and ready for immediate use, ensuring the factory-set joinery remains tight and stable for long-term durability.

This ottoman is specifically engineered for high-moisture environments. It features a powder-coated aluminum frame, which is inherently rust-resistant, paired with natural teak. Teak is highly valued in coastal regions because its dense grain and high natural oil content provide an organic barrier against rot, moisture, and insects. While the teak will naturally weather to a beautiful silver-gray patina over time, its structural integrity remains exceptionally durable in the face of salt air and humidity.

Stability is a core feature of the Platform series. Unlike hollow plastic or light wicker alternatives, the combination of a solid teak slatted top and a reinforced aluminum frame provides significant weight and a low center of gravity. This ensures the ottoman remains firmly in place even in breezy conditions common on open decks or high-rise urban balconies.

To maintain the charcoal fabric, we recommend regular light cleaning with a solution of mild soap and water to prevent the buildup of pollen and dust. For the teak, you can choose to apply a teak sealer once a year to preserve the original tan finish, or simply allow it to weather naturally. Based on our expertise with high-end outdoor materials, we suggest using a furniture cover during extreme weather or the off-season to protect the cushion foam and keep the teak looking its best for years to come.

Yes, this piece is designed with versatility in mind. The charcoal cushion is completely removable, revealing a slatted natural teak top underneath. This allows you to easily transition the ottoman from a soft footrest to a stable, level surface for refreshments or decorative trays, making it a highly functional choice for smaller patios or apartment balconies where space is at a premium.

At 17 inches high, this ottoman is designed to align with the seat height of most standard outdoor sofas and sectionals. This standardized height ensures an ergonomic transition when used as a footrest and provides a comfortable, sturdy seat for guests when extra capacity is needed. Its 35-inch square footprint offers a generous surface area that scales well with both large sectionals and smaller bistro sets.
