SLAB Upholstered Ottoman | Luxury Square Footstool with Metal Plinth Base | EKAR FURNITURE

The Ottoman That Does Everything

The SLAB Upholstered Ottoman from EKAR FURNITURE is designed around a straightforward principle: a single, well-made piece of soft seating should be able to serve every function a living room asks of an ottoman — footrest, additional seating surface, central coffee table substitute, and decorative accent — without compromise on any of them. The large square upholstered block, with its gently softened top corners and firm high-density foam core, provides a surface that is wide enough for two people to rest their feet simultaneously, padded enough to serve as occasional seating for a guest, and flat and stable enough to carry a tray, a book stack, or a decorative object. The low-profile brushed metal plinth base lifts the ottoman off the floor by the precise amount needed to give it visual presence without making it tall — it reads as a deliberate piece of living room furniture rather than a spare cushion on the floor. As a product from EKAR FURNITURE's mid-to-high-end Foshan furniture factory, SLAB is manufactured and exported as a companion piece to EKAR's full living room sofa collection, and as a standalone product for buyers who need a premium upholstered ottoman from a reliable China furniture factory at factory-direct pricing.

Construction: Firm, Flat, and Fully Upholstered

The SLAB ottoman is constructed on a solid wood internal platform frame with a welded steel perimeter that supports the metal plinth base attachment. The high-density foam used for the top and side padding is a shape-holding formulation — firmer than sofa seat foam — that maintains the flat top surface and clean block profile under sustained load without the top surface bowing or the corners losing their softly radiused definition. The upholstery is applied in a single full-wrap panel on the top and four side faces, with the seam lines positioned at the base edge where they are concealed by the metal plinth. This wrap construction is what allows the SLAB to present a continuous fabric surface across the top and all four sides without any visible seam interrupting the block form — a production standard that EKAR FURNITURE's Foshan custom furniture factory maintains across production runs for all upholstery types, from plain velvet to graphic-pattern fabric.

Upholstery Options: From Discreet to Declarative

SLAB's upholstery range is designed to cover the full spectrum from quietly complementary to boldly decorative. In charcoal velvet or warm grey chenille — the most widely specified options alongside a large sofa in a contemporary living room — SLAB disappears into the seating arrangement as a well-made supporting piece that completes the room without competing with it. In dark plum velvet with a brushed gunmetal base, it provides a colour accent that enriches a monochrome or dark-toned interior. In graphic or animal-print fabric — as shown in the third product image with a black-and-white stripe pattern — SLAB becomes a deliberate decorative statement: the ottoman as art object, positioned in front of a large sofa where its pattern reads clearly as an intentional design choice. EKAR's Foshan export furniture factory supports all three directions at the same production quality standard, with custom pattern upholstery available for OEM orders. Buyers sourcing India import furniture, or retailers in the Gulf and Southeast Asia building a complete living room collection, can specify any combination of SLAB size, upholstery, and base finish through EKAR's OEM programme with Pantone colour reference or fabric sample submission.

The Metal Plinth: A Base That Earns Its Place

The brushed metal plinth base of SLAB is not decorative trim — it is a structural and visual element that defines the ottoman's character as a considered living room piece. The plinth wraps the full perimeter of the ottoman base, lifting the upholstered block off the floor by a precise height that creates a shadow gap visible from all sides and prevents the ottoman from appearing to sit directly on the floor like a cushion. The brushed silver standard finish creates a clean, contemporary base appropriate for most living room palettes. Brushed gunmetal is available for buyers who need a darker, more atmospheric metal tone. Brushed gold is available for Gulf-region luxury residential and hotel projects where gold metal detailing is a standard interior specification. As a Foshan custom furniture factory with direct metal component sourcing, EKAR can match the plinth finish to an existing metal tone in the living room specification — sofa leg, coffee table base, or decorative hardware — for buyers who need precise material consistency across a project.

Factory-Direct from EKAR FURNITURE — Foshan, China

EKAR FURNITURE exports SLAB factory-direct to furniture retailers, interior designers, hotel FF&E procurement teams, and residential developers across all major markets. As an established China furniture factory based in Foshan — one of the world's leading furniture manufacturing centres — EKAR delivers the material quality, production precision, and export reliability of a mid-to-high-end manufacturer at pricing that reflects factory-direct access rather than distributor-marked-up import costs. Physical pre-production samples are available for upholstery and base finish approval. Each SLAB is packed in an individual export-grade carton with foam protection and upholstery surface wrap. FOB Foshan, CIF, and DDP shipping terms are available to all Gulf, Southeast Asian, Indian, European, and North American ports, with full export documentation provided as standard.

(FAQ)

Q: What is the SLAB Upholstered Ottoman?

A: SLAB is a large-format square upholstered ottoman by EKAR FURNITURE featuring a fully upholstered block form — top and all four sides in a continuous fabric or velvet wrap — on a low-profile brushed metal plinth base. It functions as a footstool, occasional seating surface, coffee table substitute, and living room decorative accent, and is available in plain, patterned, and custom upholstery options from EKAR FURNITURE's Foshan furniture factory.

Q: Can the SLAB ottoman be used as a coffee table?

A: Yes. The flat, firm top surface is stable and padded firmly enough to carry a tray, books, or decorative objects when used as a central coffee table substitute in front of a large sofa. A tray is recommended to protect the fabric surface from spills when used for drinks.

Q: Is graphic or animal-print upholstery available?

A: Yes. Graphic pattern and animal-print upholstery — including black-and-white stripe and zebra print — are available through EKAR's OEM programme. Custom pattern fabric can also be submitted by the buyer for production. This option is popular for hotel lobby accent pieces, boutique interior design projects, and living rooms where the ottoman is intended as a decorative focal point.

Q: What base finish options are available for Gulf-region hotel projects?

A: Brushed gold is the most frequently specified base finish for luxury residential and hotel projects in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Brushed gunmetal is preferred for darker, more atmospheric interior palettes. Custom base finishes can be matched to an existing metal tone in the living room specification through EKAR's Foshan custom furniture factory OEM programme.

Q: Can the size be customised for a specific sofa or room dimension?

A: Yes. Custom sizes are available through EKAR's OEM programme. Buyers can specify exact dimensions — width, depth, and height — to match a specific sofa configuration or room floor plan. A pre-production sample is available for approval before bulk production.

Q: Is SLAB suitable for India import furniture procurement?

A: Yes. EKAR FURNITURE regularly exports to India import furniture buyers — retailers, interior designers, and residential developers — with factory-direct pricing, FOB/CIF/DDP shipping from Foshan to all major Indian ports, and full import documentation including commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and SGS test reports on request.

Q: Which EKAR sofas pair best with the SLAB ottoman?

A: SLAB is designed as a companion piece to EKAR's full living room sofa collection. It pairs most naturally with the GROVE Modular Sofa (JM906S), the PETAL Adjustable Sofa (HCS237), and the LUNAR Curved Modular Sofa (JM909S) — all large-format sofas where a proportionally generous ottoman completes the living room arrangement.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity for export?

A: The standard export MOQ is 2 units. For wholesale, retail, and hospitality contract orders, MOQ and pricing are negotiable. Contact EKAR FURNITURE at export ekarfurniture with your project quantity and upholstery specification.
