FAQs

1. What is the difference between your two ottoman collections?

Our Foldable Storage Ottomans collection features compact designs with foldable bodies, while our Wood-Foot Storage Ottomans collection features upholstered designs supported by detachable wooden feet. Folding and assembly details vary by model, so please review the individual product description before choosing.

2. How do I choose the right size for my space?

Measure the available width, depth and height where you plan to place the ottoman. Leave enough room to walk around it and remove the lid comfortably. If you plan to use it as a footrest, compare its height with your sofa or chair seat.

3. Where can I find the product dimensions?

Dimensions are listed in the specifications on each product page. Check the measurement labels carefully: rectangular styles use length, width and height, while round styles may use diameter and height. Interior storage measurements, when provided, refer to the usable compartment rather than the outside of the ottoman.

4. What materials are used in your ottomans?

Depending on the style, upholstery options include woven polyester, corduroy, boucle, velvet and PU faux leather. Selected designs also feature wooden feet. Please check the product page for the materials used in the specific ottoman you are considering.

5. Is PU faux leather genuine leather?

No. PU faux leather is a synthetic upholstery material with a leather-like appearance. Products described as PU or faux leather should not be understood to contain genuine leather upholstery.

6. How do I access the storage compartment?

The featured designs use a lift-off lid. Remove the lid and place it on a stable surface before adding or removing items. Keep the compartment below its upper edge so the lid can sit properly when replaced.

7. What can I store inside an ottoman?

Depending on the compartment size, suitable items may include small throws, cushion covers, magazines and other lightweight household essentials. Store only clean, dry items, and avoid overfilling the compartment. Check the interior dimensions if you have a particular item in mind.

8. Do the ottomans require assembly?

Assembly varies by design. Foldable styles may require opening the body and positioning the base and lid, while wood-foot styles may require attaching the feet. Follow the instructions supplied with your specific product and check the product page for any assembly requirements before ordering.

9. Can all of the ottomans be folded flat?

No. Only styles specifically described as foldable are intended to fold for storage. Detachable feet do not mean that the upholstered body can be collapsed. Empty the compartment and follow the model’s instructions before folding a foldable ottoman.

10. Can I use an ottoman as a seat or step stool?

Only use a model for seating if its product page explicitly states that it is suitable for that purpose and provides a supported weight limit. Do not assume that a padded top means an ottoman is designed for sitting. Ottomans should not be used as step stools or climbing platforms.

11. How should I clean my ottoman?

Follow the care instructions for the specific upholstery. For routine care, gently remove surface dust with a soft cloth or an appropriate upholstery attachment. Blot spills promptly rather than rubbing, and test any permitted cleaner on a concealed area first. Avoid soaking the upholstery or storage compartment.

12. Can the upholstery cover be removed and washed?

A removable lid does not necessarily mean the upholstery cover is removable. Unless the product page or care label specifically identifies a cover as removable and washable, do not remove it or place it in a washing machine.

13. Are the ottomans suitable for outdoor use?

These collections are intended for indoor living spaces. Keep them in a dry area away from rain, standing water and prolonged direct sunlight. Do not treat the upholstery as waterproof unless the individual product specifications explicitly say so.

14. Will the color look exactly like the product images?

The appearance of upholstery can vary with room lighting, screen settings and the direction of the fabric’s texture. Review both the close-up and lifestyle images, along with the written color description. If you need help understanding a shade or finish, contact us before ordering.

15. Are the accessories shown in the photos included?

Lifestyle images may show sofas, rugs, throws, books and other decorative accessories to illustrate styling ideas. Refer to the product description or package contents for exactly what is included with your purchase.

16. How can I ask a question about a specific product?

Email support@stonepelorus.com with the product name or product-page link and your question. For size-related questions, include the measurements of your available space so we can help you review the relevant specifications.
