Know before you buy
The handwoven seagrass provides a firm, supportive surface. While it is excellent for short-term use like putting on shoes or extra seating during a gathering, it is not designed for long-duration lounging.
To keep the seagrass in good condition, vacuum it occasionally with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth; avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the natural fibers.
Yes, its dimensions and sturdy oak construction make it an ideal height for use as an ottoman or footrest in front of a sofa or armchair.
The frame is finished with a clear lacquer, which protects the wood from minor wear. Simply wipe it down with a soft, slightly damp cloth as needed to maintain its luster.
The stool features a solid oak base designed for stability. However, if you are placing it on hardwood or tile, we recommend using small felt pads on the bottom of the legs to prevent sliding and protect your floors.
