HAUSFRAU 31.5 in Ottoman with Storage Bench - Folding Seat and Hidden

Our review of the HAUSFRAU 31.5 in Ottoman with Storage Bench finds it best for small-space homes that need a tidy, stylish storage option with occasional seating. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a roomy 72L internal compartment with a cushioned flip-up lid that doubles as a comfortable foot rest or extra seat. Setup is straightforward, the MDF frame feels solid, and the linen green fabric and tufted top give it a polished look that works under a console table or at the end of a bed.

Key Features

• Roomy storage: The 72L interior fits blankets, shoes and seasonal items, keeping clutter out of sight while maintaining easy access.
• Sturdy construction: A high-quality MDF frame compliant with US EPA TSCA TITLE VI provides reliable load bearing and resists deformation over time.
• Comfortable seat: The thick padded top is covered in soft fabric to serve comfortably as a foot rest or a short-term seating option.
• Space-saving fold: When not in use the ottoman folds to 2.3 in thick, making it simple to store in tight closets or slide under beds.
• Flip-up lid and removable bin: The detachable top and included removable storage bin make organizing small items faster and more flexible.
• Elegant styling: Graceful lines and traditional tufting create a refined appearance that suits entryways, living rooms and bedrooms.

Who It's For

This ottoman is ideal for apartment dwellers, dorm residents and anyone looking to add discreet storage that doubles as seating. The combination of a 72L capacity and a cushioned top makes it especially useful for people who need to stash blankets, shoes or office supplies while preserving floor space.

It may not be the first choice for those who need a permanent heavy-duty bench for daily two-person seating or long-term outdoor use; the product is built for indoor, multipurpose use and is most valuable in living rooms, entryways or at the foot of a bed.
