Distressed Leather Storage Ottoman
Check Price
Bottom Line

Mid-century modern design that looks as if it came from a trendy design store.

Pros

Solid wood is sturdy and can withstand child play. Distressed vegan leather is buttery soft and natural looking. Easy assembly and good storage space can easily handle quilts and blankets. Huge bonus: A child safety hinge makes the lid close slowly to prevent lid from slamming.

Cons

Comes with plastic pins on the feet – users suggested replacing with felt pads.

Bottom Line

Traditional tufted ottoman coordinates with classic décor.

Pros

Very well made and sturdy. Comes in navy, grey, cream and aqua to suit a wide variety of color schemes. Comfortable to put your feet up on. Unlike other budget buys, the lid has a lip underneath to prevent it from sliding off. Looks like an expensive piece.

Cons

At 29.75" diameter and 20" in height, some found it was too big for the room.

Bottom Line

Lots of fun colors in faux leather add a pop of interest to the room.

Pros

Handles on the side open the ottoman so you can flip the top over and use it as a table. Trays nest into the ottoman to stay stable, and are easy to wipe down. This is a good alternative to similar ones sold in big name stores that cost twice as much.

Cons

Many reports of damage in the shipping process.

Bottom Line

Stylish ottoman adds flair to a room with fashion-forward fabric designs.

Pros

Sturdy legs screw in for easy assembly. Hinged lid stays up and only closes when you push it down gently. It's a longer piece, for more of a bench look. Becomes the place of preference for all house cats.

Cons

Not much padding, so it’s not very cushy for people to sit on.

Bottom Line

Piece folds flat, so this storage piece is also easy to store away.

Pros

Easy-access piece, since the lid swings open on either side so you don’t have to take everything off the top first. Despite the folding assembly, it’s still sturdy enough to sit on, with comfortable padding. Some bought multiples and stacked them together.

Cons

The lid has to be held up for access unless fully opened, so not suitable for small kids who could get fingers nipped.
