La Fête 18-Inch Cube Outdoor Ottoman, Marine-Vinyl Modular Seat

The Dot 2 is a true 18 in cube with square corners, which makes it the tidy, space-efficient member of the modular family. Square footprints line up against walls, other cubes and Dash benches with no gaps, so it suits tight patios, lobbies and event floors where a round seat would waste room. It is light, wipes clean, ships assembled and can serve as a seat, footrest or small table.

Where to use it

• Corners of patios and terraces where square pieces tuck against walls and railings
• Hotel lobbies, galleries and event rooms that need flexible, wipe-clean seating
• Around a fire feature or low table as extra guest seats
• Poolside as a side table or footrest next to a lounge
• Kids' play areas and party rooms, which the brand lists among suggested uses

Planning and installation notes

• Count 18 in square per cube and leave a walkway; three cubes in a row measure 54 in.
• Square sides butt together cleanly, so cubes can form a continuous low bench with Dash modules for a built-in look.
• At 6 lb it moves easily, so weigh it down or tuck it against a wall where wind or crowds could shift it.
• Nothing to assemble; the unit ships fully assembled.
• Match every piece to one vinyl color for a cohesive scheme, or alternate two neutrals with a single accent such as Cognac or Aqua.
• Covers are replaceable by the brand if you later want to refresh the color.

Who it is not for

• Anyone wanting a seat with a back or arms; this is a backless cube
• Large-group seating on its own; plan several cubes or add Dash benches
• Projects needing a published weight rating, warranty term or lead time, because none is published
• Buyers who prefer fabric-cushion, wood or woven materials

Care

Wipe with mild dish soap and warm water, then rinse with clear water. For a stubborn mark, use a soft brush with a gentle non-abrasive cleanser and light pressure, because abrasive products can dull the vinyl's protective finish. The brand also sells its own vinyl cleaner and conditioning cream, and a damaged or outdated cover can be replaced.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the Dot 2?

The brand drawing shows an 18 in cube: 18 in wide, 18 in deep and 18 in high.

What is the difference between the Dot and the Dot 2?

The Dot is a round 18 in cylinder; the Dot 2 is a square 18 in cube. Both share the same height, weight and vinyl colors, so they combine freely.

Can cubes be lined up as a bench?

Yes, the square sides sit flush together, and the brand shows cubes placed in rows and groupings. The brand does not publish a connecting hardware option.

How heavy is one?

The brand details sheet lists 6 lb per cube.

Is it safe to leave outside?

The brand specifies weather, fungal and mildew-resistant vinyl over a waterproof encasement, and designs the line for indoor and outdoor use. Freezing-climate guidance is not published.

Can I order a different cover color later?

The brand can make replacement covers in the original or a different color; contact the brand through the store for details.
