Castlery's engineered wood frame paired with pocket springs and performance fabric means this piece handles real life—spills, pets, heavy use—without sacrificing the clean, understated aesthetic. The greige upholstery has a soft, lived-in quality that works across minimalist and warmer interiors alike. It's particularly suited to open-plan living areas where the ottoman doubles as extra seating or a casual footrest. One consideration: performance fabrics can feel slightly different in hand than traditional upholstery, so viewing in-person before committing is worth your time.
