it looks like a very soft ottoman..if you have kids, it could be used by them in their room as seating since it's soft

Yes it is soft!

Would you add a throw and blankets to it?

Buy a fake fur small rug and glue it on.

A kid's room would be good. It would be fine in a guest room to hold luggage or put a tray on it for cellphones, drinks, extra towels, etc.

You could have a small throw, though in a kids room you wouldn't need it

Oh, I love me a comfy ottoman! Is the pillowed portion of yours down-filled? I would use it in a heartbeat with a chair that it didn't match, if I didn't have space to use it with the chair it's intended to go with. Do you have any other chair around the house where it'd be nice to have the option of putting your feet up?

I use my old ottoman in my walk in closet. It's big and fits my big bum nicely. Oh, wait a minute, was that unkind?

This is my closet. It’s not huge...do you see it in here? And this is the adjoining bedroom to closet with the chair.

Would it fit under the window by the matching chair in the bedroom...put a tray on it for sitting a cup of coffee or something like water after you exercise?

It does fit under the window but then it blocks my husbands side of the bed

Use it in a bedroom for seating, or under a console table to pull out for extra seating in a living space. It looks like you would have room for it right up on the chair though, like a chaise, if you straightened the chair. It would just be in the way in the closet.

Use it as a time out seat :-)

Thanks for all the great ideas and supportive comments! Have been getting a lot of negativity here in Houzz and I thought it was a safe place to share ideas.

I’ll show you what it looks like if i straighten the chair

Do you like it like this and someone suggested making it like a chaise? Does it have room
Between the end of the bed or too big? We do want to use it to rest our feet when reading books to the kids.

If you move the exercise machine forward so the screen is touching the angled ceiling, do you have room for the chair + ottoman elsewhere in the room?

I like it with the chair angled. If you use it I would make it work.

NoI cant move it on the other side because that’s the entrance to my
Closer/bathroom and the TV is there.

Do you feel with it angles the room doesn’t seem open enough? That’s why we took it away in the first place. It was given to us by friends’ parents who downsized and sold their home

it looks better at an angle. If you use it for reading books to the kids, could you move the chair and the ottoman to one of the kids' bedrooms?

Could it be repurposed as a table if you put a large tray on top?

It is fine on an angle. You've got enough room to get around.
