Good Questions: Where Can I Find a Storage Ottoman?

7.31storage.jpg Hello AT,

Where can I find an inexpensive, small and sturdy storage ottoman or cube? We need something our 10 month old can practice pulling up on (needs to be sturdy and not precious). Since we've got a small apt we would like something that doubles as an ottoman (ideally) and toy storage...

It also needs to be small - about 20 inches wide and 15 inches high. The cute one in the photo is too wide and expensive. Looking for something under $60. Any ideas?

Thanks! Lauren

Anyone?

Under 60 you need to look at Target or Overstock.com. Though its more likely you will find something in the $80 range. Check out this one http://tinyurl.com/2snc8t .
I have no idea how sturdy it is but it seems to fit your other specs.

I got a square black suede-ish one from Bed Bath and Beyond a year ago for $19.95. It's nice and small and came in other colors too.

Inexpensive storage ottomans should be easy to come by this time of year because a lot of college kids buy them for their dorm rooms.

They have several styles, coverings, and sizes. I have a bench in purple microfiber that I store hats in. They're pretty on the ball over there.

Wow. This post came at a perfect time! I am looking for four small inexpensive storage ottomans that will fit under our coffeetable. I am in love with the peony one from urban outfitters and the one from BBB. Thanks!

Hi - does anyone know where the storage ottoman in the original post is from? The one that's too wide and expensive for Paullchik may be perfect for me :)

Thanks!

Thanks, but I really like the look of the one in the photo. Any leads on *round* storage ottomans of that size?
