Otto & Ben 45" Storage Ottoman with SMART LIFT Top, Upholstered Tufted Bench, Foot Rest, Royal Blue

It’s unassuming, simple even, with its light-grey, sharp-cornered, rectangular form, and you would be forgiven for thinking it’s a humble piece of furniture reserved for college students and the thriftiest among us. But friends, this is not your run-of-the-mill, cheap, Amazon furniture. This is advanced furniture.Firstly, it’s multipurpose: I use it regularly as a foot rest and storage container. This thing can hold blankets for days. Secondly, it’s an absolute unit: I’ve used it to seat two or three people and as a sturdy step stool. It is fairly rigid and I have never worried about anybody sitting on it. Thirdly, it absolutely refuses to be stained: my roommates and I have regularly spilled beer and food on it to no avail. Not even on a spot on it after a year (See photos). As I wrote this, chili oil was spilled on it and the chili oil lost. Fourthly, IT FOLDS UP (I can’t really expand much more on this point). Finally and most importantly, this is the least expensive piece of furniture I own, yet one of the best. It really is a solid value, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs an ottoman, some storage, or just a simple accent piece. In more limited applications this thing probably has use in industrial and aerospace settings.

This adorable bench/chest is fantastic. The problem-solver I was dreaming of. I've got a slew of odd-sized photo albums and other family memorabilia that doesn't fit nicely in a box or a bookcase. This gem holds it all and them some. I wanted something very sturdy and relatively attractive, but not terribly expensive. My original plan was to store this in my closet, but it's so cute, I'm leaving it at the foot of the bed. It takes 90 seconds to get out of the very manageable flat-pack shipping box, then "unfold" the body, insert the bottom, and place the lid on top. Sturdy as heck to sit on (I'm 150 pounds and it doesn't wiggle at all under my weight). Great quality of construction. All the edges and seams are perfect. The fold-up option on the lid is tough and should withstand lots of opening and closing. Not flimsy at all. You're going to be very pleased with the fabric and how the piece looks overall - much more like furniture and not at all like a cheap, generic storage box. This product link offers a bunch of fun color options, but if you keep searching you'll find it's available in 3 nice shades of gray as well. It would hold at least 10 pairs of shoes, a dozen or more purses, loads of kids toys, or a lightweight blanket for a queen sized bed with ease. Don't think twice. Just buy one. Or two!

I purchased this because I was looking for a cost effective, practical, storage bin for the end of my bed. I wanted a place to put extra blankets to put on top of my bedding every night that were fresh and clean because I have dogs and sometimes they smell like dogs.It holds quite a few thick blankets.It holds quite a few thick blankets. It took less than five minutes, literally, to put together after getting it out of the box and get it set up. No tools required or anything.I’m not going to say a full grown man or sturdy woman could stand on it and it not so some Ella fax, but I can testify to the fact that an almost 100 pound big ass dog gets on my bed instead of using the darn dog ramp I bought for her and it’s just fine.I’m not going to say a full grown man or sturdy woman could stand on it and it not so some little affects, but I can testify to the fact that an almost 100 pound big ass dog gets on my bed instead of using the darn dog ramp I bought for her and it’s just fine.I weigh roughly 143 lbs and sit in it to put on shoes and it’s just fine.I am very pleased with this purchase. It’s practical, that’s what I want to, didn’t take but a minute or two to put it where I wanted it and my big dog hasn’t broken up and that’s a very big deal.

I was going to spend over $100 on a storage bench with all these steps to assemble and I came across this ingenious product. It's like a collapsible storage cube, but with sturdy board and you just throw the lid on top. Bam, done, then throw your junk in! So simple, and my 200 lb husband can sit on it and supports his weight. It's amazing how much stuff fits in it. The seat has thick cushion and it looks like a high quality piece of furniture without the high price. Love it!

Color is bright vibrant. Size is almost as long as a full size bed, maybe an 1 or 2inches shorter in length. The compartments are perfect and keep stuff organized. The top is great, you can flip 1 side at a time, it doesn't need to be removed to look inside.I will purchase the other size to complete the look

These little benches have a lot of storage and are VERY sturdy. My husband stood on it one evening and I just about had a panic attack thinking it would collapse from his weight, but it didn’t. I first bought 1 to put in the front window so our nosey dogs can keep an eye on the neighborhood. Then I bought 2 more to save us from an expensive vet bill! You see - we have an 8 year old 5lb dog who likes to sit on the back of our sofa, and now a new 10lb 1 year old dog who likes to jump up onto the back of the sofa and push the small dog off and onto the floor. Scared us half to death to hear our smallest dog fall off and hit the floor. So I bought 2 more and put behind the sofa to cushion her blow next time she gets pushed off.

Great product! The color is nice and vibrant, and it's big enough to store blankets, towels, or any else for storage. It came folded, but it was easy to assemble. No screws or tools needed.
