Sutterfield Storage Ottoman

A storage ottoman offers a versatile 3-in-1 solution that a standard coffee table cannot: it provides a soft surface for relaxation, extra seating for guests, and a hidden compartment to reduce clutter. This model features a generous interior specifically designed to house extra throw pillows, blankets, or media accessories. For those who still want a hard surface for drinks, adding a decorative tray on top creates a stable, stylish area for refreshments while maintaining the safety and comfort of an upholstered piece.

This ottoman is upholstered in 100% polyester, a synthetic fiber specifically chosen for its exceptional durability and resistance to pilling and stretching. Because polyester is naturally moisture-resistant, it stands up well to the rigors of a busy household, including frequent use as a footrest or extra seating. The tight weave of the beige fabric provides a sophisticated look while offering the resilience needed for everyday family life.

For families with toddlers or young children, an upholstered ottoman is often preferred over a traditional wood or metal coffee table. The soft, padded corners and sides significantly reduce the risk of injury during play compared to sharp, hard furniture edges. Additionally, the sturdy block legs provide a low center of gravity and excellent stability, ensuring the piece remains secure whether it's being used as a seat or a soft landing spot in a high-energy living area.

To achieve a balanced look, an ottoman should typically be about two-thirds the length of your sofa and roughly the same height as your seat cushions. This ottoman stands at 19.5 inches tall and 54.5 inches wide, making it a perfect proportional match for standard contemporary sofas and large sectionals. Its rectangular shape and 24.5-inch depth also allow it to serve as a comfortable footrest for multiple people simultaneously without overwhelming the floor plan.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend regular vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to prevent dust and debris from settling into the woven fibers. For accidental spills, the 100% polyester fabric can be spot-cleaned using a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of mild soap and water. Always blot the area rather than rubbing to preserve the fabric's texture, and ensure the piece is fully air-dried to maintain the fresh, upscale look of the beige upholstery.

In compact living environments like city apartments or condos, every piece of furniture must serve multiple roles. At 54.5 inches wide, this ottoman provides ample space to act as a primary coffee table while simultaneously offering extra seating for at least two adults during gatherings. The built-in storage is particularly valuable in smaller homes, providing a dedicated space for seasonal items or linens that would otherwise occupy limited closet space.
