Gio Leather Ottoman vs 40" Leather Cocktail Ottoman With Storage

Buy the Gio if you want real full-grain Italian leather and a softer, more comfortable footrest. Buy the 40-inch storage ottoman if you need a hinged lid for blankets and a seat for two. The Gio is the better-built piece: genuine leather, a feather-down topper and a solid rubberwood frame, and its 96 owners rate it 5 out of 5. The storage ottoman is faux leather with a 250 lb weight limit, so it trades material quality for utility.

• Choose the Gio Leather Ottoman if you want genuine full-grain leather, a plush feather-topped cushion and a round piece that will hold up over years of daily use.
• Choose the 40" Leather Cocktail Ottoman if you need hidden storage, a square 40-inch surface for trays and seating for two.
