La Fête Z-Dot Pentagon Ottoman, 36-Inch Five-Sided Vinyl Seat

Z-Dot is a five-sided ottoman that lets a seating plan bend at an angle instead of running in straight lines. Its pentagon shape lets benches and chairs meet it from different sides, so you can build a corner, a curve or a free-standing island in a lounge without leaving gaps.

Where to use it

• Hubs in angled lounge layouts where seating meets from several sides
• Hotel lobbies and spa lounges that want a statement ottoman instead of a square
• Pool decks and terraces, as a shared footrest between chairs
• Event lounges that need islands or curved runs
• Covered patios and sunrooms; the brand designs the line for indoor and outdoor use

Planning and installation notes

• Allow for the 49 in long dimension when you sketch the layout, because the five-sided shape is wider at one end.
• At 18 in high it sits slightly above the 17 in Zig seat, so it reads as a footrest rather than as part of the seat row.
• At 30 lb it can be rotated and repositioned by one person.
• Delivery: the brand states this item cannot ship by FedEx Ground and is scheduled as a special delivery by phone or email with the factory.
• Use one color across the project, or choose a contrasting vinyl for the pentagon as a focal point.

Who it is not for

• Buyers who want a plain square or round ottoman; see Zinc or the Dot ottomans
• Projects that need a published weight rating or posted lead time; the brand does not publish either
• Narrow spaces that cannot fit a 49 in long piece
• Anyone who wants a seat with back support

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 The brand also sells its own vinyl cleaner and conditioning cream, and a damaged or outdated cover can be replaced.
