Storage Ottomans: Beyond the Basics

You can find storage ottomans all over the place; they're at Target, Stacks and Stacks, classic furniture stores like Thomasville, and many other places. But here are some more unusual options.

How about a moose storage ottoman? There's also a black Lab version. Update on July 1, 2013: I'm no longer seeing the moose ottoman - or the black Lab one.




Not a moose kind of person? Here's a very different storage ottoman. Update on July 11, 2011: This ottoman comes from Anna Millea; sadly, I'm no longer finding her ottomans on the web.




Want something a bit more sedate? Here's an option from Neiman Marcus, at the kind of prices you might expect from them. [via CasaSugar] Update on Sept. 21, 2009: This product is no longer available from Neiman Marcus.




Here's a storage ottoman designed specifically to hold shoes. Update on July 1, 2013: I'm no longer finding this product.




Ballard Designs has one designed specifically for file storage; there are many fabric options. Ottomanopia also has a file storage option. Update on May 6, 2010: Ottomanopia seems to have disappeared.




And here's a storage ottoman designed to fit DVDs and other media. Update on July 1, 2013: I'm no longer finding this product.




Finally, this one is unusual in that it's a round storage ottoman in a sea of square and rectangular options. Update on July 1, 2013: This came from  P'kolino, which seems to have discontinued the product.
