Debenhams shoppers save £80 on 'luxury' ottoman that doubles as a brilliant storage solution

If you have things piling up around your home that you would rather be kept out of sight, such as blankets, bedding and children's toys, you might want to consider investing in an ottoman. They not only add much-needed space to any living space, but they also offer additional seating.

Storage can often look unsightly, but this is not a worry with a particular ottoman from Debenhams. Shoppers are snapping up the Homcom Velvet Storage Ottoman and it's not hard to see why.

It typically retails for £239.99 but shoppers can pick it up with a massive £80 discount at Debenhams, for a limited time. That brings the total down to a friendlier £159.99 - and customers say it's 'worth every penny'.

That's because it features a fun colour block design with handy discreet storage. It's great for bedrooms and living rooms alike and features a padded top which can be used as a seat. It's completed with stylish wooden legs for support.

While the Velvet Storage Ottoman doesn't have any reviews on the Debenhams website. it has racked up an impressive overall rating of 4.9 out of five from almost 60 reviews on Amazon. One shopper said: "Great ottoman. Lovely and soft to touch. Easy to install legs, just perfect. Good value for money, sturdy, lid stays up by itself and roomy inside."

A second wrote: "I bought this after having a really flimsy foldable one before, and I'm so glad I took a chance on this one. It's super sturdy and feels really high quality. It was basically ready to go right out of the box, just had to screw on the legs.

"It's really roomy too - I can fit all my home workout gear in it and still have space left. Plus, it looks great and feels like a steal for the price. Highly recommend."

Somebody else mentioned: "This ottoman is worth every penny in my opinion. It's value for money and has fabulous storage space. My bedroom is black and white so it matches everything. Arrived well packaged and undamaged and legs were a breeze to screw on."

One person, however, docked the Velvet Storage ottoman a star, writing 'I love this apart from one thing'. They said: "Nice and bright, well put together. The only draw back is is the cushioned top is as hard as a nail."

But another loved their latest home purchase, adding: "Needed extra storage but most ottomans were not deep enough but this one is. It arrived on time and only had to screw the feet on. Adds lots of colour and quite original. The others I looked at were a bit mumsy and didn’t want any more wood in the room. Lovely soft top to sit on. Looks like a great big cake."

Elsewhere, shoppers can pick up the Boucle Lozenge Ottoman in two colours for £59 at Dunelm, as well as the £119 Evie Boucle Storage Ottoman. At Next, the Valencia Upholstered Storage Ottoman comes in three colours and costs £265.
