A leather ottoman works as a footrest, extra seat or low table with a tray. The word leather covers a lot: genuine leather, top-grain leather, bonded leather and vegan or faux leather are different materials, and listings do not always spell out which one you get.
The six ottomans below run from an 18 inch pouf to a 36 inch lift-top storage model. Sizes, materials and weight limits come from each product’s listing page, and the limits are the makers’ own figures. We have not used these ottomans ourselves.
