Seating

Enough to move around without brushing knees, about forty centimeters of passage, while staying within reach of the coffee table. Any farther and the conversation gets lost.

It can play that role with a rigid tray set on top, for a coffee break. Without a tray, keep it as a footrest.

Vacuum with the brush attachment, following the texture, then dab a fresh stain with a barely damp white cloth. Bouclé hides signs of use well.
