Yay or Nay? Pic attached - Cocktail Ottoman
What do you think of the following cocktail ottoman?
My sofa is a bright pattern (see pic below), but I have a dark brown leather chair, brown silk curtains and a cherry entertainment center.
I am worried there might be too much brown, but then again, I don't know what other color I would do.
TIA.
Sofa Swatch (but you see more red / pink tones in person for some reason)

I like the cushion, but I'm not crazy about the legs.
Do you have a picture of the couch?

I think it would look nice. I have a similar ottoman and we really like it.

I know. That is my dilemma... For a minute I was considering this, but I think it might be "too much" with the sofa.
ETA: It is a red velvet leopard"ish" pattern...

i don't think it's bad, hard to say without seeing it with the whole room. but i think if the room is mostly dark brown, it will not be too much. But, what will you do for a rug?

Love it, just not the legs. Very nice choice though.

I already have this rug... the red pulls out the red tones in the sofa...

I hate the legs but then again, it is not my style so you can't go by me.

Re: Yay or Nay? Pic attached - Cocktail Ottoman
maybe I'm too much of an entertainer, but I'm not thrilled with the practicality of an ottoman replacing a table... even with a tray on top, the tufted surface isn't a stable surface for glasses, especially if they are wine or champagne glasses.... and spills would be more complicated too......
sorry!

LOL - I have thought about this too. I would like to be able to put my feet up on it though when we are watching tv! I wouldn't do that to a regular table. I also thought it might be nice for the extra seating when we are entertaining.
hmmm..... decisions, decisions...

I like it but it depends on the style of your sofa.

I am not crazy about the legs either. I saw some nice ones on Overstock the other day.

Re: Yay or Nay? Pic attached - Cocktail Ottoman
I have an ottoman (seen in this pic) which I love. My concern with the one you are interested in would be that dust, crumbs, etc. could get into the tufted sections. Image Attachment(s):
