Tests & Verdict

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and 12+ years of industry insight.

Decent amount of storage with a really nice buttoned top that looks and feels great.

Customers really do love it, the worst we saw at time of writing was 4 star reviews and even those didn't have anything bad to say.

Not as big as some people might hope, although this is down to expectations and what exactly you want to store in it.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The Ottoman Storage Chest is a stylish and functional piece of furniture that is perfect for any bedroom that has been designed to provide ample storage space for a range of items, while also acting as a comfortable seat at the end of the bed. The chest is made from high-quality materials, and is available in a range of colours and finishes to match any bedroom decor.

One of the things that we liked most about the Ottoman Storage Chest is its spacious design. With ample room for blankets, bedding, and other household items, this chest is perfect for keeping your bedroom organised and clutter-free. The chest is also made from high-quality materials, and is built to last, making it a great investment for your home.

One thing that we didn't like about the Ottoman Storage Chest is that it may not be suitable for those who are looking for a larger storage space. Although the chest is spacious, it may not be able to accommodate larger items such as suitcases or larger boxes.

Additionally, the ottoman storage chest may not be suitable for those who are looking for something that can be used as a seat or a footrest. While the chest is designed to be used as a seat, it may not be as comfortable as a traditional ottoman or footstool and while the plush buttoned top looks inviting, the actual amount of padding to support you is fairly limited.

Based on the customer reviews, it is clear that this ottoman is a popular and well-liked product. One of the key things that customers liked about the product was its depth. Many reviewers felt the ottoman was large enough to store a significant amount of items, such as bedding, towels, and other linens. This was particularly appreciated by reviewers who were looking for a storage solution for their bedroom.

Another thing that customers liked about the product was its style and aesthetic appeal. Other customers noted that the ottoman was attractive and looked great in their bedroom. It was also believed that the product was a good match for a variety of different bedroom decor styles, and that it was able to elevate the overall look of the room.

Customers also praised the quality of the ottoman with a number of people stating that the product was well made and felt sturdy and durable, giving them confidence in their purchase and the belief that it would last for a long time.

Since moving into my first house, although I have an extra bedroom, it doesnt feel like I have enough storage (female issues)... with that said-dreams had a sale and were doing a buy 2 get 1 free on furniture so I decided to purchase the bedside tables and this storage chest. I have a lot of duvet sets, pillow cases, towels etc and had previously been storing them in clear recycle bags which were stashed in my wardrobe or on the bed in the spare room which isnt ideal. When this arrived, I was completely shocked with how big it is in real life. I couldnt not believe it was the length in size of my double bed. I didnt have space for it in the master bedroom and putting it somewhere random would have made my room look out of proportion so I have put it in my back bedroom which is a fairly decent size. So far-I havent filled it with anything as Im still slowly sorting through my belongings but its fantastic.

This is a beautiful, stylish, well made and very practical piece of furniture which compliments my new bed and finishes off my bedroom perfectly. It has been made to a very high standard, perfectly finished and the additional storage it gives, which helps to keep the bedroom free from clutter, is a real bonus. The height is perfect to use as a seat when needed. I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase!

We wanted a larger storage chest for the bottom of our Kingsize bed and this is perfect. Loads of space for storage, sturdily made enough to use a seat. Like that you can hold the top secure rather than having to hold it whilst putting by things in or out. Love the colour, the buttons in the top a definite asset to the room.

I bought this from dreams few weeks ago and it's brilliant my kids sit on it instead of sitting on the bed and it's a brilliant storage unit for the extra duvets and pillows. The story chess is made with very high standards and the buttons are made with imitated diamonds which looks very fancy and it's a wow Factor.

I purchased this along with the draw units. It was a bargain as I bought three for the price of two. My lucky day to be honest. Our room looks stunning and the build quality is excellent. I have the full set, the bed frame, the two draw units and the storage chest and am over the moon with our purchase.

The Ellis bed is lower than my last bed and there is no room to store anything underneath so I decided to purchase the storage chest. It looks lovely and can double up as a seat. It has plenty of storage space for bedding or cushions and look great at the foot of the bed. So happy with my purchase.

I wasnt going to bother getting this storage unit but seeing as it was on offer 3 for 2 and I was getting the bedside tables I thought why not and I'm so glad I did the matching set looks great and all the products are sturdy and well made, definitely recommend to others to get the whole set.

I fell in love with this in store and although I knew I didn't have the room to keep it at the end of the bed in my house, I knew it would go elsewhere in our room. It's a fabulous addition and fits everything we had our previous bed (ottoman lift-up). It also looks amazing!

Will this one or the storage chest dark grey be better suited to the Lucia dark grey bed as you never did make a matching storage chest for this?

Answer: The Luxury storage chest in dark grey would be better suited, however the material is different so the colour wont be an exact match.We are planning to bring the Lucia storage chest in dark grey in to the range eventually, but at the moment we do not have a set time for this.

Hi Are the measurements correct as pictures of it seem to go at the bottom of a double bed and we are limited for space. Thank you Pam

Answer: Yes, these dimensions are correct. Unfortunately we currently on offer this storage chest in one size and hence it may not be suitable for use at the foot of a smaller bed.

Would this match the Sana Fabric Ottoman in grey?

Answer: Whilst this is designed to match the Ellis, the Sana utilises the same material so should match. Hope this helps, Dreams.
