Is it sturdy enough to sit on?

It is built for light use as a seat or footrest. The plywood and LVL frame is not meant for heavy or constant sitting, so treat it as an occasional perch.

How much does it hold?

The full 16-inch interior opens up under the lid, enough for folded blankets, books or small dorm supplies. Bulky items will not fit.

Does the lid hinge or come off?

The lid lifts off completely. You set it aside to reach inside, so plan for a spot to put it down.

What fabrics are available?

It comes upholstered in velvet or chenille, in a cabana-stripe pattern. Both are soft and textured rather than smooth or wipe-clean.

Will it fit in a small dorm room?

Yes. At 16 inches across and 17.5 inches high it takes little floor space and can tuck beside a bed or desk.

Can it be used outdoors?

No. It is designed for indoor use only, and the fabric cover should stay out of weather.

Our take on the Pottery Barn Teen Simple Round Storage Ottoman

A 16-inch round upholstered ottoman with a lift-off lid and hidden storage underneath. At 17.5 inches tall it works as a seat, a footrest or a small side table, and the velvet or chenille cover in cabana stripes gives it a soft, textured look. The plywood and LVL frame is built for light indoor use, not for heavy daily sitting. It suits dorm rooms and small bedrooms where a stool and a blanket box have to be the same piece. Rivals in this size class often offer sturdier frames or hinged lids; this one keeps it simple and soft.
