We love ottomans because they can be made for a variety of purposes:

• Storage: Lots of people choose ottomans to improve the look of their storage solutions and hide items that they don't want to be seen when they aren't being used.
• Additional seating: Too many chairs or not enough space for an extra sofa or loveseat? Ottomans can seat multiple people depending on their size.
• Extra surfaces: Even small ottomans can work as a place to put down items like a TV remote, a book, and more. Larger ottomans can hold larger items, including décor.
• Footstools: Kick your legs up without swapping the chair you have for a chaise—a small ottoman is a great place to rest your feet.
• Decoration: Ottomans in colors, patterns, and fabrics or leathers that accentuate your existing space can make a statement or tie a room together.

Well-made storage ottomans can double as seating. Ethan Allen storage ottomans are crafted from engineered hardwood that's joined by hand for excellent sturdiness. Then, your ottoman is hand-tailored in your choice of fabric or leather by one of our craftspeople for a high-quality look that's going to last. Complete the look with decorations like tufts, skirts, or nailheads.

Our ottomans are cushioned with foam certified through the CertiPUR-US program. This is the same cushioning we use for the rest of our seating, so your ottoman is just as comfortable as our sofas, loveseats, and accent chairs.

• Living room ottomans have lots of potential! Select a large cocktail ottoman instead of a coffee table, or place an ottoman in front of your sofa, loveseat, or accent chair as a footstool. You can even hide the back of your sofa with a storage ottoman.
• In the bedroom, ottomans are a great choice to hide the foot of your bed or add some seating near a dresser or in a walk-in closet.
• Add some seating and storage in your hallway or entry with an ottoman to store winterwear or to provide a place to sit while changing shoes.
