How Does This Ottoman Fit Your Space?

This ottoman works beautifully as a footrest beside your favorite armchair, as extra seating when guests arrive, or as a casual surface near coffee tables in your living room. The 22-by-28-inch footprint makes it substantial without overwhelming smaller layouts. Pair it with pieces from our sofas and loveseats collection to create a cohesive leather-upholstered seating area, or let it stand alone as a statement piece where the shearling trim and natural leather grain become focal points.

What Makes Full-Aniline and Semi-Aniline Leather Different?

Full-aniline leather receives a translucent, pigment-free dye after tanning, which enhances the hide's natural character without hiding scars or markings -- only the finest top-grain hides qualify for this process. Semi-aniline leather undergoes a more pigmented dye treatment that delivers uniform color and includes a protective topcoat for added scratch and sunlight resistance. Both options come from world-class tanneries and showcase the quality construction found throughout our ottomans collection.

Construction Details Worth Knowing

The hardwood frame uses double-dowelled, glued, and screwed joints rather than particle board or plywood shortcuts. The 8-way hand-tied spring system stabilizes each coil so the entire spring set works together, a hallmark of fine upholstery. This benchmade approach means American craftsmen build each ottoman to order, ensuring durability that holds up through years of daily use.
