We bought the couch a few years ago and LOVE it because it is huge. I'm not particularly in love with the fabric or the style, but I love that eight adults can sit on it without awkwardly rubbing shoulders (or hips) with the person sitting next to them. Whether we're hosting guests or it's just Tim and me sprawled out watching a movie, everyone has plenty of room.
When we bought the couch, we didn't really put a lot of thought into a coffee table/ottoman. We currently have a small, rectangular, wooden coffee table that probably should have been replaced a while ago. It wobbles, has rings on it from where we have set hot mugs, and it has sharp corners, which will become quite dangerous when a certain little boy starts pulling up and moving around. We need something new.
As much as we love the couch, I've been pretty stumped by the ottoman deal. The couch is so big that if we only have one ottoman, the people sitting in the middle of the couch have something to rest their feet/drinks/books/whatever on, but the people on the ends are just out of luck. I like the idea of doing side-tables, but there really isn't space to put them without blocking the walking paths through the room. If we do two small ottomans, I'm afraid the space will look cluttered. Annnnd, do the ottoman(s) have to be round to mimic the shape of the couch, or can it/they be square?
I dunno. Waddaya think?

We have an L shaped couch and our ottoman is triangular shaped so when we aren't using it it's pushes up against the couch in the L bend
Have two or three small, round ones. That's what she said.
