FAQ

1. What is the weight capacity for daily office use?
Weight capacity depends on the ottoman's frame, base style, and materials. Most office ottomans are built for typical guest seating or leg support, not heavy duty or multi person use. For exact capacity, check the product description on the page and use that as your guide for daily use.

2. How stable is the ottoman when people sit or lean on it?
Stability is affected by the base style, footprint size, and whether it has glides or casters. Stationary bases with a wide footprint generally feel more solid for sitting, while mobile styles can move slightly if pushed or leaned on. Review the product photos and base description to match stability with how you plan to use it.

3. Does the ottoman require assembly, and what tools are needed?
Some ottomans arrive fully assembled, while others may require attaching legs or a base. Assembly is usually straightforward and often uses basic hand tools many offices already have. The product description lists assembly requirements so you can plan for any tools or help you might need.

4. Are these ottomans suitable for high traffic or 24/7 environments?
Suitability for heavy use depends on the frame construction, upholstery type, and base design. Upholstery designed for commercial use and sturdy frames are better choices for busy lobbies, waiting areas, or shared spaces. For continuous or 24/7 environments, look for products described as commercial grade and review the materials section on each item page.

5. Do the casters lock securely to prevent unwanted movement?
Some ottomans feature locking casters, while others use freely rolling casters or fixed glides. Locking performance depends on the caster design and floor surface. Check the base or caster details in the product description to confirm if a specific ottoman includes locking casters.

6. Can multiple ottomans be grouped to create larger seating areas?
Many ottomans can be placed side by side to create bench style seating or flexible lounge layouts. Square or modular shapes usually align more cleanly than round designs and help reduce gaps. Product photos and shape information on the page can help you visualize how multiple units will work together.

7. Will the ottoman fit under standard office desks or tables?
Fit depends on the ottoman height and the clearance under your desk or table. Compact or low profile ottomans are more likely to slide underneath without hitting the underside or modesty panels. Compare the listed height on the product page with your actual desk opening to be sure.

8. Are replacement casters, glides, or cushions available if something breaks?
Replacement parts availability depends on the specific manufacturer and design of the ottoman. Many standard casters or glides can be matched with common aftermarket parts, while custom cushions or components may require brand specific replacements. If you need an exact match, check the brand details on the product page and contact customer service with the item name for current options.
