Cream velvet ottoman with brass legs
Description
Found a cream velvet ottoman on Kirby Drive, outside a cafe near the Houston Arboretum, this morning around 7:45 am. It's about 18 inches square and 18 inches tall, with a tufted top and slender brass-finished legs. The fabric is in good condition except for a small coffee stain on the side and a tiny scratch on one leg. There's a small brass tag under the cushion that reads 'Horizon Home,' which seems like a nice identifying detail. I figured someone might be missing a piece of furniture that could tie a room together, so here it is—if this is yours, let me know and we can arrange a pickup.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
