Walport Ottoman

To ensure the item arrives in the best possible condition, customer assembly is required. This typically involves attaching the turned legs to the base. We recommend following the included instructions closely to ensure the frame is perfectly level and stable for long-term use as both a storage unit and an accent seat.

While it offers a substantial surface area, the round silhouette and 18-inch height make it a strategic choice for smaller footprints or urban apartments. Unlike rectangular pieces that require specific orientation, a round ottoman improves "flow" in a room, allowing for easier movement around the piece. Furthermore, its triple-functionality—as a footrest, extra seating, and storage—helps maximize the utility of limited square footage.

The ottoman is supported by "turned" legs in an antique ball style. This construction detail not only provides a classic decorative touch that bridges contemporary and traditional styles but also elevates the piece off the floor. This elevation creates a sense of "visual lightness," making the room feel more open, while also allowing for easier cleaning of the floor surface beneath the furniture.

Designed for maximum utility, this ottoman features a detached top that reveals a spacious interior. The large round basin is ideal for stashing bulky living room essentials like seasonal throw blankets, extra decorative pillows, or board games. This "hidden" storage solution is a hallmark of clever design for maintaining a clutter-free contemporary home.

Yes, this ottoman is an excellent multi-functional alternative to a traditional coffee table. With a generous 37-inch diameter and a flat, button-tufted surface, it provides a stable area for a serving tray. Its round, soft-edged design is particularly beneficial for high-traffic living areas or homes with young children, as it eliminates the sharp corners found on standard wooden tables.

This piece is upholstered in a "velvety soft" performance polyester. Based on our material expertise, polyester is highly valued in busy households for its inherent durability and resistance to stretching or pilling. The tight weave of performance fabric makes it more difficult for pet hair to become embedded and allows for easier spot-cleaning with mild soap and water, as recommended in our furniture care guidelines.
