Review: Songmics Large Folding Storage Ottoman Bench Box + Competition
Songmics Large Folding Storage Ottoman Bench Box – With Christmas not that long ago we always find ourselves having to do a reshuffle and reorganisation of the toys and books both old and new. Finding the right home storage is key to keeping it all under control.
When Songmics, leading sellers on Amazon got in touch and asked us to review the Storage Ottoman Bench I bit their hands off (virtually of course). Songmics sell a range of household and storage solutions at great prices.
I like box style storage or multi-purpose storage in muted tones which is why I was drawn to this Grey Ottoman Bench box.
As you can see it doesn’t look like a toy box from the outside so fits in perfectly in the dining area.
It was really easy to put together with no fixtures or screws. It came in four pieces:
- The Lid
- The base
- The bottom
- A divider
All we had to do was unfold the base, add the bottom which was a thick plastic part that keeps the base box shaped, and then add the divider.
The lid is padded which means that it can also be used as a bench style seat, or a reading place as Isabelle has already claimed it to be.
What’s inside?
As it’s quite large I thought it was perfect to store some of our ever growing collection of board games. We’ve put it in the dining area which means that if we were to have additional guests for dinner we could use it for extra seating at the table so it definitely has a multi-function purpose. You could of course use this for anything from a blanket box to shoe storage.
What we think?
It gets a big thumbs up from me simply because it is multipurpose and doesn’t look like a toy box so fits in with the surrounding furniture. It also gets an additional thumbs up from Isabelle who has been lounging on it reading her books or playing on her tablet as she’s been full of a cold for the last couple of days. Our games have a great new home now which is easily accessible whilst looking stylish.

We have one at the moment so I would replace that one as it has seen better days, our labrador likes to jump on it. I would store blankets and throws in there.
For now, I would store some of the babies clothes in here but use it for her toys and books when she gets older.
I would definitely store my kids toys in it.
Bedding would be my first choice. Keeps bedding flat, and readily available at the foot of the bed, keeping sheets and duvet covers separate from other bedding that has different sizes, and creating more space in the airing cupboard! So just perfect.
