Homebeez Velvet Button-Tufted Round Storage Ottoman, Grey

This round storage ottoman pairs soft, button-tufted velvet with a hidden interior built for everyday clutter: blankets, throw pillows, books, or anything else you'd rather not leave out. At 28 inches across, it works equally well as a coffee table substitute, a footrest, or extra seating when guests come over.

The lid lifts off completely rather than hinging, which opens the full 24.8-inch-wide, 12.2-inch-deep interior, about 25.5 gallons, for easy access rather than reaching through a narrow gap. A wood-and-engineered-wood frame with protective plastic feet keeps the piece stable on hardwood or tile.

Reviewers consistently describe it as looking and feeling more expensive than its price, with the velvet finish and tufting doing a lot of the work; a smaller number note the grey reads lighter in photos than in person, so lighting in your own room will shift the exact shade.
