If you’re looking for an Ottoman that’s stylish, jam-packed with storage space, and sturdy as can be, you’ve come to the right place, and boy, do I have some furniture to show you. An Ottoman can be anything from a comfortable footrest for your favorite seat to an entire storage chest that also functions as a seat, with these being the latter, each featuring a large amount of space for storing all your favorite trinkets.

This stylish distressed black ottoman would look at home at the foot of your bed, in a hallway as a bench, or even in your living room. It’s sturdy enough to function as a footrest or bench and has enough storage space to handle all your storage needs. The child safety hinge ensures that kids won’t slam their fingers when closing the lid, meaning this could even make an incredibly nice-looking toy storage chest for grandkids when they come to visit, or children of your very own. It’s certainly on the larger end, measuring out at thirty six by eighteen by eighteen and weighing in at twenty-five pounds, ensuring smaller children will have a hard time moving it, but should you decide to use it as a footrest, it’s easily moved for your comfort. This particular model comes in distressed black but Simplihome offers a large variety of colors from cloud grey to tanners brown. It’s an astonishingly good purchase for anyone looking for a fantastic new storage solution for their home at a fantastic price point of three hundred and nine dollars.

SIMPLIHOME Harrison 36 inch Wide Square Coffee Table Lift Top Storage Ottoman

Key Features

• Color: Distressed Umber Brown
• Fabric Type: Faux Air Leather
• LARGE INTERIOR STORAGE SPACE with split lift top 
• Maximum Weight Recommendation: 250 Pounds

Another stunning piece from Simplihome, this Harrison model ottoman features a combination lift top and standard lid, opening almost like a makeup vanity. Aside from that, it has an extremely large amount of storage space, being one of the larger and ergo heavier ottomans on this list. This monster of an ottoman is designed for the living room, specifically for placement in front of the couch, hence the “coffee table” moniker, though I wouldn’t go placing drinks on it, you’d stain the lovely faux leather! Alongside the fantastic design, it also features a boatload of storage space, not to mention child-safe hinges for avoiding squashed fingers from heavy lid slams. It weighs out at fifty-two pounds making it a little harder to move than our last ottoman, though weight typically indicates the strength, and this one packs a sturdy frame that can support up to two hundred and fifty pounds sitting on it, so it can comfortably be used as a bench. Personally, I’d place it at the end of my bed, as I like to sit and put my shoes on. The best part is you’re paying the same for this one as our last product, so really it’s about the storage size you need, either way, you’re getting one hell of a value-packed deal.
