Know before you buy
Yes, this ottoman features its own built-in gliding mechanism. It is designed to move smoothly on its own, providing a consistent motion that complements a glider chair or functions as a standalone footrest.
Yes, you have the option to provide your own material (COM) for the upholstered top. This allows you to perfectly match the ottoman to existing furniture or specific design elements in your room.
The solid sides offer a clean, streamlined look that highlights the grain of the hardwood, while the slatted sides provide a more traditional Mission-style aesthetic. Both options are built with the same solid hardwood construction and offer identical structural durability.
All available wood options are high-quality hardwoods suitable for furniture, but they vary in grain pattern and hardness. For example, Oak and Hickory are exceptionally dense and resistant to wear, while Cherry and Walnut are prized for their unique color aging and smooth grain textures.
The nailhead trim is primarily a decorative customization option used to add a tailored, finished look to the upholstered top. It does not affect the structural integrity or the gliding function of the ottoman.
The ottoman measures 20 1/2 inches wide, 16 1/2 inches deep, and stands 15 inches high. These dimensions are designed to provide a comfortable height for most standard glider chairs.
