Ottilie Fabric Storage Ottoman, Dark Grey Dimensions: 17.50”D x 51.00”W x 17.00”H

I bought this ottoman mainly for the extra storage, and it’s been perfect for that. It fits a good amount, blankets, throw pillows, and even a few board games, without looking bulky in the room. The lid lifts easily and stays open on its own, which makes it super convenient when I’m organizing. The fabric feels soft and well-made, and the light grey color blends nicely with just about any decor. It’s sturdy enough to sit on, but still light enough to move when I need to rearrange things. It’s one of those pieces that’s both practical and nice to look at, which is exactly what I wanted.

we were a little hesitant just because the color appears different in all lighting for all people, but it was perfect for our bedroom! The tuffeted top is adorable and elegant, the storage area holds more than we expected, and overall it doesn’t take up the whole king footboard which gives us a little room to walk around. Great craftsmanship, and easy to put together just add the legs! if you’re on the edge, this has great quality and value, so go ahead and get it!

Before we even get to the ottoman itself, let’s talk packaging. There’s a very clear warning on the outside of the box that says not to use sharp tools, which makes sense because the ottoman is sitting right up against the cardboard. There’s a thin disposable fabric layer covering part of it, but let’s be real: that little piece of fabric wouldn’t stop a knife, box cutter, or scissors from slicing straight through if you’re not careful. Extra caution is a must. Because this ottoman is ivory, I unboxed it with maximum care. I did use a box cutter (because realistically, what else would you use for a large box?), but only shallow cuts, zero blade pressure, and every time I could lift an edge of the box, I pulled it up so the cutter had space and wouldn’t touch the ottoman. I also made sure my hands were clean while handling it. Despite my best efforts, I was disappointed to find several dirt smudges on the exterior and grease marks on the interior near the hinges right out of the box. Clearly pre-existing. I tried removing them with stain remover and wipes — the exterior lightened a little, but the interior grease stains didn’t budge. This seems like a packaging or handling issue that could easily be improved. On a light-colored item, even small dirt smudges are noticeable, and a little extra protection during shipping would go a long way. Once I got past the unboxing frustration, the ottoman itself is fantastic. The good stuff: • Arrives basically fully assembled. No instructions, no tools, no tears. • Legs twist on in about 30 seconds. • Very sturdy. I’m about 180 lbs, and sitting on it (really plopping down) felt completely solid — no wobbles or creaking at all. • Weighs around 60 lbs and feels substantial. • Storage space is generous and practical. It could fit two of my large, bulky throws, and looks like it could fit a queen comforter. I tested aesthetically it in multiple spots in my apartment. In the living room with my couches, it fit proportionally, though the color didn’t match perfectly. In the bedroom, though? Absolute perfection. At the foot of a queen-size bed, it spans most of the width and anchors the space beautifully. Another reviewer mentioned the black legs clashing with brown furniture and being too short. I also have brown furniture and initially planned to replace the legs it came with (they’re actually very easy to find here on Amazon), but the black doesn’t clash as much as expected, and the height is ideal for me. A few minor quirks (because I notice these things): • The lid doesn’t sit completely flush — about a quarter-inch gap. Many wouldn’t notice, I did. • The “ivory” color is more of a buttercream shade. • Listed as velvet, so I expected a velour-type fabric, but it’s more scratchy and linen-like. • Fabric attracts lint like others mentioned. Pet owners, prepare your lint rollers. Final thoughts: Because of the size and heft, it’s not worth returning or replacing over a few dirt smudges, but seeing marks right out of the box was disappointing. With improved packaging or handling, this would easily be a 5-star item. Beautiful, sturdy, functional — just make sure your hands are clean, your cutting technique is careful, and your expectations for pristine shipping are slightly flexible.

The fabric is beautiful and it looks nice at the foot of my bed. It opens easily and stays open until you are ready to close it which is nice so that you can load it without having to hold it open. The legs screwed on easily. I sat on it and it holds my weight of 168 lbs but, it does not seem sturdy enough in the center for a ton more weight. If I had kids, I would not want them to jump up on it. Also, the bottom of the inside seems flimsy - I would not pack it too full. I am very happy with it for the price I paid and would reccomend it to anyone.

Extremely happy with this product. Love the color, texture, and size.(Perfect for the end of a queen bed) The ottoman arrives almost completely assembled. All you have to do is screw on the legs! Perfect storage for holding extra sheets and towels.

I purchased the Christopher Knight Home Ottilie Fabric Storage Ottoman, and I’m kinda bummed. It’s a great-looking piece at an excellent price, especially once I replaced the feet with some more appealing, taller versions. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087LFLV6Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) Note: The taller legs would likely make it wonky if set on carpet, but on hard flooring they work well. The stitching is tight, the tufting sturdy and well done, and the storage ample. The navy blue that I chose is a good shade, and has a faux linen effect that is sturdy and appealing. Originally I gave it five stars. The problem, and it is a significant one, is that any focused pressure on the top cause the wood underneath the tufting to break into literal splinters. Them doing it this way is the strangest thing! An adult can sit carefully, but if anyone kneels on top, the knee punches through with a resounding ‘crack.’ If you’ve ever had matzoh, then you’ll understand the thin brittleness that I talking about. It’s so odd! They put a lot of work into this and made a very nice looking piece, then ruined it with a single super thin layer of wood. A slightly flexible bit of plastic would be far, far more durable. There is fabric lining on the interior, and at this point that’s all that is holding the wood piece of the top together. I have some upholstery webbing lying around so I may try my hand at detaching the lining, removing the broken and splintered wood, and stapling the webbing in place to support the top, but gosh that’s a pain. In the photo I’ve cut away a small portion of the lining open to show one of the many holes and the thickness of the wood. As you can see, it’s only a hairsbreadth thicker than the quarter. The cross supports are still strong, and the thing maintains basic structural integrity, but the shattered wood looks like it’s about to cut the ribbons holding the tufts in place, so that’s not great. Soon it will be wonky and stretched out, with some tufts remaining and others blown out. It’s also pushing very sharp splinters through the lining into the interior storage area, and that has made for some unwelcome surprises in the blankets that we stored in there. Honestly, it’s still a pretty great piece of furniture for the price, but it’s definitely not for high traffic areas, or areas with kids. Anywhere that would have elbows, knees, or little feet making contact is going to be a problem. As an occasional bench under a window or possibly a place to sit and slip on shoes, it would likely be fine. Anything that requires any sort of durability, not so much. Bummer.

We got this to replace a dark leather storage ottoman at the foot of our bed for a softer look. The color of this ottoman is just gorgeous. I was between this and another brand that was cheaper, but ultimately, this won because I liked the raised legs, tufted lid, and was already familiar with the Christopher Knight brand. First, I was impressed with how it was packaged. The ottoman comes assembled except for the legs. Beneath the box sean where you would score it was a box-length strip of cardboard, just to make sure you didn’t slice fabric when cutting the box open. The ottoman itself came housed in a drawstring bag. The hardware was all together in a small bag inside the ottoman - just legs and plastic washers, as it needs no tools! You just twist the legs onto the bottom. This is a nice and roomy piece of furniture that really looks luxe. I’m happy we spent a few extra dollars, because you get what you pay for. My only knock on this is that I wish there was a good picture of the bottom to make sure I had the legs going the right way. They're angled on one side and I wasn't sure if the angle pointed in or out. (We did ours inwards.) Not all legs twisted the same amount to be tight, but there's 7 washers to add one or two to a leg if you need to even them out. Overall, we're really pleased with this purchase. It's high quality and looks great!

Love it super cute easy to assemble and perfect for my linens. Super cute way to add charm to my master bedroom both functional and cute

Colour and length

The color and fabric are very nice! It is very sturdy and more space than I expected. Great price. Overall I’d give it 5 stars.

Bought as a seat for my home office. Chose this one because it had a reasonable weight limit (two adults could safely sit on it). Great value for money. Cat has adopted it

Loved the colour and quality. I am using this as a coffee table and storing of blankets for a small condo. I was impressed with the size, perfect for what I had in mind.

The bottom is flimsy. The frame is weak. Bad purchase.
