Large Brown Rectangular Leather Ottoman – Handmade Bench & Footstool

A Handcrafted Bench Ottoman Built for Real Living Rooms

This large brown rectangular leather ottoman brings hand-stitched goatskin character to spaces that need a seat, a footrest, or a low bench surface in one piece. At 35.4 x 17.7 x 11.8 in (90 x 45 x 30 cm), it has the proportions to serve as an end-of-bed bench, an extra seat beside the sofa, or a sturdy surface for a tray — and the full-grain goat leather only improves with age. Available filled or unfilled, it ships flat by default to keep freight costs down.

Made to order in small batches — please allow 5-7 business days for production before shipping.

Construction & Dimensions

• Rectangular shape: 35.4 x 17.7 x 11.8 in (90 x 45 x 30 cm) — long enough to stretch out on, compact enough to tuck under a console
• Full-grain goat leather: soft and supple underfoot, with the natural grain structure that holds up to daily use
• Hand-stitched panel construction: each leather panel is cut by hand and joined with tight stitching along every visible seam
• Zipper base: a concealed bottom zipper lets you fill, refill, or adjust firmness yourself
• Slight color variation: tonal shifts between panels are normal for handmade leather — a mark of the craft, not a defect
• Filled or unfilled: choose the filled option for a ready-to-use seat stuffed with polystyrene foam and cotton, or select unfilled to ship flat and fill at home with shredded foam, recycled fabric scraps, or densely packed old clothing — do not use loose polyfill or feathers
• Weight capacity: holds up to ~250 lb (115 kg) when filled

The Craft Behind This Ottoman

Abdelilah, the master leather artisan behind our poufs, works in Marrakech’s Souk Talaa district, selecting full-grain goat hide for its suppleness before hand-cutting each panel to a template. The seams are stitched through both layers of leather simultaneously — a technique that distributes stress across the stitch rather than the hide, creating a raised ridge along every join. Full-grain goatskin ottomans hand-stitched in Marrakech using traditional panel construction hold their shape and seating comfort for years when properly filled and maintained.

Filling Your Ottoman

This ottoman ships flat and unfilled by default, reducing shipping weight and cost. Fill it at home with shredded foam, recycled fabric scraps, or densely packed old clothing — materials that hold shape under daily use without compressing flat. Follow our step-by-step guide to filling your pouf for recommended fill volumes and techniques to achieve a firm, even seat height.

Care

Wipe the leather surface with a barely damp cloth; never saturate. Condition two to three times a year to keep the goat hide from drying or cracking. Full guidance, including stain removal and storage, is in our leather care guide.

Product Questions

Can adults sit on this rectangular ottoman?

Yes. When firmly filled, the 35.4 x 17.7 x 11.8 inch shape works as a low bench, footrest, or occasional seat for adults. Dense filling gives the best support, especially if the ottoman will be used for regular seating.

Can it be used as a coffee table?

Yes. Its rectangular top is long enough for a tray, books, or decorative objects. Use a tray for drinks and small items, and choose a firm fill if you want a more stable coffee-table feel.

What room is this shape best for?

The long rectangular shape works especially well at the foot of a bed, in front of a sofa, or below a window as a low bench. It gives more surface area than a round pouf without taking up the visual weight of a hard coffee table.
