BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has this and loves its dual purpose: “Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base so you can *also* use it as a small snack table. I recently bought one of these.” My new apartment to store my candles and ~candle accessories~ and it has pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture. I use it to support my feet while I work and sometimes when I want to eat on the couch I use it as a tray. It’s also sturdy enough to sit on if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. Assembly was incredibly easy – I completed it in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn’t even need the directions. Plus it just looks so darn cute (and it comes in so many colors I’m tempted to buy another one!).”
Promising review: “I used a small folding step stool in my bedroom to access the top shelves of my closet. But you know, these things aren’t pretty. It brought me no joy, just an aversion to its usefulness. This ottoman brings me joy.” It’s pretty, lightweight so I can easily move it to use as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my evening moisturizers, my Kindle, and journalsand other little things.” –Monica N.
