Promising review: "This ottoman is gorgeous! Fits perfectly with my sofa and decor. It was one of those 'pop it out the box and it's ready to go items', no screwing feet or anything. It's very durable and the best part for me is the lip on the bottom of the lid that holds it in place. It's very roomy for storage and nice as an extra seat or table. I am very happy with my purchase!" —anonymous

Promising review: "Great product! I bought four. At first I was concerned they might be too small, but the size is perfect! I bought four of them in the faux leather with black trays. I just love them! I got rid of my coffee table and now have more room to move about my living room. I love the dual function — just perfect.

Promising review: "I bought two of these and they are great so far. They hold all of my blankets. Supports the weight of a 5’8" man (my fiancé sits on it while he plays video games) and no signs of breaking the wood! I wouldn’t recommend doing this all the time but it was a nice thing to find out. The wood tray feature is super nice, very durable. These are also great when you’re living in a limited space — gets the job done. May even end up buying more once we move and complete our couch set!" —Stephanie T. Grandy

Measures 18.5 inches wide.
Promising review: "I researched A LOT of poufs for months, and finally decided to get this one based on reviews and for the price. It's a great size as a footrest for a chair/couch or a stand-alone seating option. The cord is thick and hard, and well-knit. The fabric underneath matches perfectly, and while you can see the fabric in between the cording up close, you can't really notice it from a distance. It feels like it will hold its shape." —bldrrr
Get it from Amazon for $78.95 (available in nine colors).
17. A contemporary pouf from Target featuring a handmade cotton cover and a convenient side handle so you can drag it with you from room to room.

Promising review: "This is a great pouf. It's super convenient. It’s small enough to fit between the coffee table and couch, but big enough to share foot space with another. It’s soft to put your feet on but sturdy enough for a guest to sit on. Has a handle on it to easily move... I would get more for the living room." —Pouf
Get it from Target for $69.99 (available in eight colors).

The brown color is very nice and goes with anything. Nice detail. I've gotten so many compliments on it! Oh, and it's functional, too, just right for putting your feet up. For a foot ottoman, it's perfect." —Sally H.
Get it from Amazon for $47.45+ (available in six colors).
19. A velvet storage ottoman, because who doesn't love a 2-in-1 piece that's as pretty as it is functional? And in fact, it's technically a 3-in-1 because the top flips over to reveal a wooden surface you can use as a mini coffee table!
Promising review: "I love this versatile stool! It’s stylish, well-made, and extremely easy to assemble. When used for seating, it’s comfortable and sturdy; when used as an end table it adds such a fun design element for any space. The storage is also a bonus if you are living in small space like I am.

Measures 18 inches wide.
Promising review: "I have had this pouf ottoman for about a year, and it has held up well. It is durable enough to sit on but light enough to move around easily. I purchased the grey color, which fits into my neutral home. I purchased this for the larger size compared to other ottomans I had considered. The height is right at the couch height, so it is ideal to put your feet or even a cup on." —Erin
Get it from Wayfair for $206.99+ (originally $440; available in 13 colors).

Promising review: "I needed lightweight footstools in front of a pull-out sofa so they could be moved easily when the bed is pulled out. I also needed tables to hold drinks or food. The tops are completely flat, so a tray or a dish will not rock or fall. These also work well as footstools or extra seats. They are in a beach house, so the look is perfect!" —Leslie K.
Get it from Amazon for $65.99+ (available in 14 shapes and styles).
