Tessmar Skaelingur Upholstered Ottoman

A tufted storage ottoman that works as extra seating, a footrest, or a bench at the foot of the bed, with a flip top lid hiding blankets and linens inside.

The button tufted lid lifts to reveal 39.37 by 14.76 by 11.42 inches of storage inside, room for blankets, throw pillows, or off season linens.

• More Than a Footrest

  Use it as a bench at the foot of an upholstered bed, extra seating in a bedroom or entry, or a stand-in for a coffee table in a small living room. At 41.73 inches wide and 16.73 inches deep, it reads long and low rather than boxy, and the warm beige tone-on-tone patterned upholstery works with a simple, uncluttered room.

• Storage Inside the Lid

  The button tufted lid lifts on a hinge to reveal storage underneath, about 39.37 by 14.76 by 11.42 inches inside, enough room for folded blankets and spare bed linens without taking up closet space.

• Minor Leg Assembly

  The turned wood legs ship detached from the base so the box stays compact and nothing gets damaged in transit. Assembly is minor, just screw each leg into its corner by hand, and the ottoman is ready to sit on or use as a footrest in a few minutes.

• Keeping the Weave Fresh

  Vacuum the tufted top and sides regularly with an upholstery attachment to keep dust out of the weave, and blot any spill right away with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing it in. Keep the ottoman out of direct sun, since the warm beige patterned upholstery can fade unevenly over time, and skip harsh cleaners on the polyester.

• Wide Enough to Share

  At 41.73 inches wide, there is room for two people to sit side by side, and the seat height of 18.7 inches sits low like a bench, easy to perch on to put on shoes. The foam padded top gives slightly under weight, soft rather than feeling like a hard box, so it works as extra seating, not just a footrest.

• Measure Before It Arrives

  The legs ship removed from the base to keep the carton smaller, so measure your doorway and any tight stairs or hallway before it arrives, more for the assembled length of 41.73 inches than for the box itself. At 41.89 pounds, one person can carry it the rest of the way alone.

• Solid Wood, Foam Filled

  The frame and legs are built from solid wood, and the whole piece is rated to hold up to 200 pounds so it stays steady under regular use as a seat or a footrest. Beneath the fabric, the tufted top is padded with foam, which is what gives the buttoned squares their soft dome instead of lying flat.

• Polyester Weave, Nailhead Trim

  The polyester upholstery is warm beige with a subtle tone-on-tone woven geometric pattern visible up close. The lid is button tufted in a diamond grid, and a row of silver nailhead trim runs along the base on every side, with vertical channel stitching down the front and back panels.

• What's in the Box

  One ottoman bench ships with the legs packed alongside the base rather than pre-attached, and it arrives ready for the minor assembly described above. No mattress, cushions, or decorative pillows are included, just the upholstered bench and its legs.

Good to know

• 18.7 inches tall, close to coffee table height for use as an occasional table.
• The flip top lid stores blankets and off season linens out of sight.
• Required at home. The legs thread on with the included hardware in a few minutes.
