Whether used as a coffee table, footstool, or accent furniture, it serves as a versatile centerpiece that enhances any room—whether your home has a contemporary, classic, or transitional aesthetic.
One of the standout features of this ottoman is its hydraulic lift-up lid, which allows for effortless access to a spacious interior storage compartment. Perfect for stashing blankets, books, remote controls, or other everyday essentials, this hidden storage keeps clutter at bay while maintaining a sleek, uncluttered look. The inclusion of a child safety hinge ensures secure closure, preventing accidental pinching and providing added peace of mind in homes with children.
Built for durability and comfort, the Owen ottoman is hand-constructed using solid wood, engineered woods, and high-density foam. This premium construction ensures long-lasting stability, while the distressed vegan faux leather upholstery offers a vintage-inspired texture that’s both stylish and easy to maintain. The material is designed to withstand daily use, though users should exercise care to avoid sharp objects that could compromise its integrity over time.
Assembly is straightforward: the main body arrives fully assembled, and only the legs need to be attached using included hardware. No additional tools are required beyond basic household items, making setup quick and hassle-free. Once assembled, the ottoman stands firmly at 40 inches wide by 40 inches deep and 19.1 inches high, offering generous surface area ideal for larger seating arrangements.
This multi-functional piece is perfect for living rooms, family rooms, or entryways, where it can double as extra seating during gatherings or provide a comfortable footrest after a long day. Its mid-century styling pairs beautifully with a range of furniture pieces, from minimalist sofas to retro-inspired armchairs, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.

Benefits & Use Cases
The SimpliHome Owen Coffee Table Storage Ottoman is engineered to maximize both aesthetics and functionality in modern homes. Its expansive 40-inch square surface makes it ideal for larger seating areas, allowing you to comfortably place drinks, books, or decorative items without feeling cramped. The built-in storage solution offers discreet organization, helping to keep frequently used household items out of sight yet within easy reach.
Beyond serving as a functional coffee table, this ottoman doubles as a stylish footstool or occasional seating option during casual gatherings. Its sturdy construction supports regular use, whether someone is relaxing with a book or hosting friends for movie night. The distressed leather finish adds warmth and visual interest, particularly effective in neutral-toned interiors where texture and contrast enhance the overall design.
Placed in a living room, it anchors the seating arrangement, acting as a natural focal point that ties together sofas, chairs, and side tables. In a family room, it becomes a convenient spot for kids to store toys or for adults to keep remotes and magazines. Even in an entryway, it can function as a stylish bench with hidden storage for shoes or mail.
Because the ottoman comes mostly pre-assembled, moving it into position is simple, and attaching the legs takes less than ten minutes. Once set up, it requires minimal maintenance—just wipe spills promptly with a dry cloth to preserve the finish. While the fabric offers good durability for everyday use, it’s best to avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly on the surface to prevent potential damage.
The combination of thoughtful design, quality materials, and practical features makes this ottoman a smart investment for anyone looking to upgrade their living space with a piece that’s as useful as it is beautiful.
Important Notes
While constructed from durable materials, some users have observed that the vegan faux leather may feel slightly thinner than premium leather alternatives and could be susceptible to tearing if exposed to sharp objects or excessive pressure. To maintain its appearance and extend its lifespan, avoid placing knives, scissors, or other pointed items directly on the surface. Similarly, dragging heavy furniture across the top may cause scratches or marks.
For routine care, wipe down the surface with a soft, dry cloth after use and address spills immediately to prevent staining. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may alter the color of the distressed finish over time. Minor variations in tone are inherent to the distressed leather process and should be expected.
All necessary assembly hardware is included, along with clear, step-by-step instructions. No specialized tools are required—just a screwdriver or Allen wrench (commonly found in most homes). If any parts are missing upon delivery, contact customer service promptly for replacement.
This product ships directly from the manufacturer and typically delivers within 5–7 business days depending on location. Please ensure the delivery area is clear before scheduling arrival.

Nice unit
This ottoman is pretty nice. The fabric is the weird snaggy stuff they started making couches out of, kind of looks like leather but feels nothing like it. It is a charcoal more than black, so turns out looking gray. It works for me.

Gorgeous Piece!
This cocktail storage ottoman is a very gorgeous piece! It has a light distressed brown leather; ample storage; sturdy build; beautiful MCM legs; and, great quality to it. Well worth the price – and huge! You should buy it…seriously!

Well built and has nice storage, but faux leather looks VERY fake.
It’s a bit ugly in person because the faux leather looks really fake.

Nice, but damaged and no clear way to exchange
Like it a lot, but damaged. No way to exchange. Required to return it and is a large return. They do mot offer to pick it up. I won’t buy furniture again on Amazon.

Nice product, terrible return policy
I received this product, and the quality of the product seems pretty good from a construction perspective, but the ‘faux leather’ material does seem very thin, and I can anticipate that tears will be difficult to avoid. I wanted to return the product, but returning it would cost nearly half as much as the product itself, so I’m gonna keep it in the basement and leverage a hardtop wooden table instead in the living room so this won’t tear.

Crooked lid
The product is attractive and was easy to assemble. Unfortunately, the lead was not attached and proper alignment and has gotten worse over the first few weeks. We have contacted the manufacturer and hopefully they will replace it with one that has the lid and alignment.
