I thought that the big coffee table in my family room took too much of space and was only used by my husband to place his cup. It's also kind of unsafe for the kids.
I got rid of the bulky coffee table and bought 2 ottomans to replace it. I am so happy that I did!
The ottomans are so versatile. They can be used as extra seatings, or as the foot rest. My son loves to play with them. I gain so much of free space in my family room and it's much safer for the kids.
When my husband need a place for his cup, he just put a tray on top of the ottoman and he has a perfect little side table.
I am so happy with the ottomans, I ordered 2 more for my living room! It's really comfortable, sturdy yet light weight. I think the price is also very reasonable, too.
I highly recommend it!
Please notice, these are little ottoman, not the big ones. If you're looking for something that's as big as your real coffee table, you'll probably need to look at other ottomans.
