Ottomans as a coffee table?


coasterqueen wrote: Does anyone use ottomans as a coffee table? We never use our coffee table for it's actual purpose. Either we use it for a foot rest or my girls use it as a platform to jump off of into a heap of pillows/blankets. blush.gif I'd love to do the ottoman look instead, but I'm trying to decide whether to go with one huge square (or rectangle) ottoman, or go with 4 smaller square ones to put together to look like one. Just wondering what others have done or what you would do? I am so not creative. tongue.gif

DVFlyer replied: Four smaller squares would be cool. Put together, they are one large ottoman, but separated, they are foot rests for each guest.

moped replied: We have leather ottomans - they are HUGE adn great. The downstairs one is square with 4 storage areas, the upstairs in retangle with 2 storage cubes......I am sooo happy with them, they flip to be soft top or a table top...........

I've seen them. I love the large square one, but I think when I asked Ashley they only have it in brown. I wonder if I could put two of the black ones together to make one big square.

I am leaning toward the four smaller ones so others can use it as a foot rest. bigthink.gif

Calimama replied: We have the biggest one they make here. It'd be the equivalent of lik 8 cubes! It's dark brown leather. I can take a picture of my living room if you want. I like just one. If we had 4 they'd never stay together.. and I like the look of it all being together..

moped replied:
I personally wouldn't put 2 together, because it might look odd.........I am sure the big square came in bother colors because they custom make each order.......these are HUGE too, which I love!

I am sure we have all different furniture stores in Canada, but check the hgiher end stores, they always have these big huge ones!

moped replied:
Yes show a pic please!!!!!

Mind don't come apart as far as the squares, it is one big ottoman - make sense

Calimama replied:
That's how mine is!

Ignore the lack of decoration. This was last Christmas and it takes us a year to pick pieces for the house. rolling_smile.gif

Bella uses the the most. Painting, eating, coloring... everything. It's scotch guarded so it wipes right up. I love it!

coasterqueen replied: Ok, I will have to check out Ashley again. I could of swore they said they couldn't, but it doesn't hurt to check again. happy.gif

Calimama - thanks for the pic. That really helps too. thumb.gif

luvmykids replied: Jen, thanks for that link! That is exactly what I've been looking for, with the convertible top! thumb.gif

coasterqueen replied: Ok, well I called Ashley here in our town and they said it does not come in black (the big square one) not even special order. dry.gif So I ordered 4 smaller ones from another place and will try them out. If I don't like the 4 smaller one look then I'll go with the larger square one I fell in love with online -- it was just WAY MORE expensive than the 4 smaller ones. tongue.gif rolleyes.gif

oooh I love it! I love your couches too, they look so comfy. And I think we have the same t.v. thumb.gif

Kaitlin'smom replied: dang thats HUGE! We dont have a coffee table or anything, it woudl just always be in the way, but I do want one.

Cece00 replied:
I have one almost exactly like these, and we LOVE it...we use it as a coffee table & footrest & my kids sit on it LOL

I would personally get one that is one piece...
