GDFSTUDIO Rupert Upholstered Storage Ottoman vs SONGMICS 43" Folding Storage Ottoman

The SONGMICS is the safer pick for most shoppers. It holds 660 lb against the GDFSTUDIO's 250 lb, folds flat when empty, and has far more owner feedback at 4.7 from 804 ratings. The GDFSTUDIO is the better-looking piece: velvet upholstery, a birch wood frame and pressure hinges that hold the lid open and close it softly. Pick the GDFSTUDIO for a living room or foot-of-bed bench you want to look upholstered. Pick the SONGMICS for heavy use, kids, or a room where the bench gets moved.

  • Choose the GDFSTUDIO Rupert if you want a velvet-upholstered bench with a birch frame and a lid that stays open on its own.
  • Choose the SONGMICS if you need a bench that holds up to 660 lb, folds flat, and has a long record of owner ratings.

Questions and answers

Which is better for sitting on?
The SONGMICS. Its 660 lb static load takes two adults, while the GDFSTUDIO is rated for 250 lb, roughly one person.
Which looks better in a living room?
The GDFSTUDIO. Velvet upholstery, stitched details and birch legs read as furniture. The SONGMICS is PVC over MDF and looks utilitarian.
Which holds more?
The SONGMICS, at about 31.7 gallons inside a 43 in wide bench. The GDFSTUDIO's hidden compartment is smaller and shallower.
Which is easier to move and store?
The SONGMICS folds flat when empty and weighs about 19 lb. The GDFSTUDIO is a rigid assembled frame that has to be carried as is.
Is the GDFSTUDIO worth stepping up to?
If the bench sits in a room guests see and you want a soft-close lid, yes. If it takes daily weight or gets moved, the SONGMICS is the sturdier choice.
Which lasts longer?
Expect the SONGMICS frame to hold up longer under load. The GDFSTUDIO's velvet and faux leather will look better early on but show wear sooner in busy rooms.
