The Sutton Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame is a frame i've had my eye on for a while now and for good reason what with the textured woven finish, dark shades and ottoman storage option, it's clear that this will be a fan favourite for years to come.
Starting with the visuals, the Sutton is available in two colour options of both grey and silver; whichever colour option you choose will look great in a modern room set but for me personally, I love the grey and find the darker colour looks slightly more modern.
Manufactured from a solid base, the ottoman storage is used really well in the Sutton, giving expansive storage space (29cm deep) that is far more useful than the 2 and 4 drawer divans typically seen at this price point. You get more storage space for a reasonable price point in a good quality design and material that will reward you with somewhere to house all necessary bedding and sheets.
Reviews for the Sutton is good with over 370 reviews and a 96% consumer satisfaction it's clear there's a lot to like with this frame. Customers liked how sturdy the frame was with a few users commenting that the mattress feels a little firmer also as a result of the solid base. Others enjoyed how easy it was to build the bed, finding it coming in at under an hour with only the most minor of inconvenience, showing the clever design carries through the entire process from start to finish. We've still managed to find a few negative reviews however, all a bit of a mixed bag with a couple unhappy with the colour difference between photos and reality with reports that the grey is slightly browner. I've actually seen this ottoman in person and wouldn't personally agree, it looked grey enough to me at the time of review. Other negatives come in the form of build quality with people unhappy with the build quality surrounding the slat storage gaps. The negatives are few and far between and with no real concise grouping, it's fair to say that you will in all likelihood find joy with this type of base thanks to its great value and good looks.
