Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Global Distinctions Nailhead Ottoman Set, Buff Microsuede
Customer Review: Down to 2* After Replacement -- Good Price, Bad Deal
Summary: 4 Stars
I live in an apartment and sometimes need a footstool or extra seating for guests. I was searching for an ottoman at a good price, and the price, coupled with the positive reviews, made up my mind. I paid $32.99+$3.49 shipping. I liked the fact that you get 2 for 1. They both have storage, and you can hide away the extra one inside the other. I purchased the microfiber suede model in "buff". The color is a little darker than the picture on my monitor. The color is actually a dark beige or very light tan (warm, but with no orange tone).
Both are lined with black fabric. The undersides of both ottoman lids have an inset of 1/2" thick solid wood (or particle board?) with black vinyl covering (faux mini-pebble leather), and can be flipped to serve as extra side tables.
The square ottoman: 17" square X 17" high. Top has about 1" of padding. Underside lid inset is approx. 14-1/8" square. Four plastic "feet": 1/2"H.
Has solid top and bottom, but NOT sides (only framing at corners). The sides have a layer of dense foam about 1/4" thick between the inner and outer fabrics.
About the square ottoman I received: I tried sitting on it, and it seemed very solid, but if I moved a little from side to side, I could feel movement in one direction, as much as 1/2" (I measured).
The round ottoman: 14" diameter X 14" high. Top has about 1-3/4" padding. Underside lid inset is 11" diameter. Four plastic "feet": 1/4"H.
Has solid top, bottom AND sides. It feels very solid to sit on. The top fabric is four pieces stitched together (making an "X"), and the seams are double top-stitched. The fabric on the base is also done in four pieces (seams are also double top-stitched).
On the round ottoman I received, the top cushion is wonky and very puckered at almost all the seams, and the side seams on the base all lean to one side.
I was attracted by the size, convenience and price. I thought I could put up with all the imperfections, considering the price, which was excellent, but it also arrived damaged. It is shipped in a lower grade of corrugated box (China import box), which was gouged during shipment, causing a 3/4" hole in the outer fabric of the square ottoman.
It is an excellent deal, but I will be returning this one for a replacement, and hope the next one arrives intact and with better workmanship on the smaller ottoman. I gave four stars based on price and convenience, but 3* would actually suffice, unless the replacement is better.
Update: I did return the ottomans, and got an undamaged replacement in only 2 days. However, the quality of the second one is WORSE than the original. I had toyed with the idea of making the repair on the first one myself, but figured I would get a better, undamaged set if I returned it. I wish I had stuck with my original idea. The second square ottoman is just as unstable as the first and has a stain on the top. The round ottoman is absolutely hideous. The stitching is puckered beyond belief, almost like shirring, and the top cushion is squashed down on one side because the fabric was pulled too tight. Even the stitching on the bottom of the round one is worse: the top edge is wavy all the way around and also badly puckered. It looks so ugly that I would have to hide it, and I would never use it for guests. And the smell is awful (I didn't notice any odor on the first one).
I think the sets sold at this price are most likely "seconds" and returned items and they should be described as such, and sold "as is" and defective. Very disappointed in Amazon for representing it as first quality.
Description of Global Distinctions Nailhead Ottoman Set, Buff Microsuede
Give any room some handy extra seating and storage with this versatile nesting ottoman set by Global Distinctions. Featuring buff microsuede exteriors that blend into any room color scheme, the larger square ottoman is also trimmed with a classic nailhead border, while its slightly smaller round partner is accented by double stitching for a sophisticated pairing that's sleekly coordinated rather than perfectly matching. Both pieces have snug-fitting, yet easy-lift, padded lids for quick access to toys, extra blankets, or magazines tucked inside, and low feet protect the ottomans from floor dirt and lint. The large ottoman measures 18 inches wide by 18 inches deep by 18 inches high. Also available in chocolate microsuede, brown faux leather, and black faux leather. --Kara KarllKitchen and Housewares
