Story: I ordered a lounge chair with ottoman from a local furniture store, but was informed yesterday that the ottoman is no longer in stock, and has been discontinued. Oh well, I still want the chair, but damn it, the ottoman would have been nice too. So instead of just letting go like a normal person, I’ve begun scouring the internets tirelessly to find the matching ottoman, only to run into numerous dead ends. Here it is out of stock on [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Dolce-Lounger-Chair-Ottoman-Bubble/dp/B003ANW4DU), referred to as “Dolce Lounger Chair with Ottoman - Moss Bubble.” Here on [Sears](http://www.mysears.com/Oxford-Creek-Bubble-Print-Lounge-Chair-with-Ottoman-reviews?tab=details), it’s called the “Oxford Creek Bubble Print Lounge Chair with Ottoman.” And here is the ottoman by itself on [Overstock](http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Contemporary-Bubbles-Print-Ottoman/4765276/product.html#custreviews), also out of order, called the “Contemporary Bubbles Print Ottoman.” It’s starting to feel like it’s a losing battle, and I need to get over it, but I figured if any group of folks knows how to stalk the shit out of something on the web, it’s yous guys. And I do mean that with lots of love. If anyone can help, I will love you forever. Many thanks, Me ---

Can you cancel the chair order and order the duo off ebay? Here’s the [listing](http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Bubble-Print-Chair-Ottoman-FREE-SHIPPING-/120686157383), with a Buy It Now price of $394.99 and free shipping. ---

Thanks, but I came across that in my stalking. 1) It’s slightly different, which I can live with, but 2) it’s about twice as much as I would have paid for complete set I bought. I guess those arms on the chair are worth $200. ---

Well, I found AN ottoman in that fabric, but not the one you want: [http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p\_10151\_10104\_021V002475267000P?vName=For%20the%20Home&cName=LivingRoom&sName=Ottomans&ci\_src=64119933&ci\_sku=021V002475267000P&aff=Y&sid=KAx20061023x272xTier3](http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_021V002475267000P?vName=For%20the%20Home&cName=LivingRoom&sName=Ottomans&ci_src=64119933&ci_sku=021V002475267000P&aff=Y&sid=KAx20061023x272xTier3) I tried looking for the fabric so you could just recover a similar one but that’s for someone with better Google-fu than I. Good luck! It’s a cute set, I hope you find it! ---

Nothing to add except that if I owned a store that sold ottomans, I would _totally_ call it **The Ottoman Empire**.
