Every face of this cube ottoman is woven, not stitched: thick bands of wide-wale corduroy cross over and under each other like a basket, so the rust color shifts a little depending on which way you look at it. It works as a footrest in front of a chair, an extra perch when the sofa fills up, or a low seat pulled next to a kid at the coffee table. The corduroy has real ridge and texture to it, so it doesn't read as flat upholstery the way a lot of poufs do, and the cube shape means it looks finished from any side.

Styling
Pull it in front of an armchair as a footrest, or press it into service as extra seating when people spill out of the living room furniture you already own. Because it's a cube, it also sits low and square next to a coffee table, close enough to set a mug down without stretching.
Rust corduroy pairs well with denim blue, olive, cream and warm wood tones, and the ridged weave reads more like a textile chair than a typical vinyl pouf. Two of them flanking a console or a low table give you flexible seating without committing a full chair to the room.
Care
- Spot clean with a dry upholstery brush or a barely damp cloth
- Blot spills right away rather than scrubbing across the corduroy ridges
- Keep out of long stretches of direct sun so the rust color doesn't fade unevenly
- Rotate occasionally if it sees daily use as a footrest, so wear stays even
- Vacuum with a soft brush attachment to lift dust from the weave
