FAQs
Can the Freya Ottoman be used as a bench?
It is designed primarily as a storage chest. While it can support light weight, it is not engineered for heavy, frequent use as a seat.
Does it come pre-assembled?
No, this product requires full home assembly.
What are the exact dimensions?
The unit measures 41 cm in height, 80 cm in width, and 38 cm in depth.
Is the interior finished?
Yes, the interior is fully finished to ensure a clean appearance and to prevent items from catching on raw material edges.
Can I replace the handle?
No, the handle is a built-in cutout feature integrated into the design of the lid.
Is the melamine finish waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it can handle incidental moisture, but it should not be left in standing water or damp environments.
Troubleshooting
The lid slams shut or does not close smoothly
Adjust the soft-closing mechanism tension screw located on the hinge arm until the desired resistance is achieved.
The chest feels wobbly after assembly
Check all cam locks and screws to ensure they are fully tightened. Ensure the floor surface is level.
Surface marks or scuffs appear on the melamine
Use a specialized melamine cleaner or a very light mix of water and mild dish soap; avoid steel wool or abrasive pads.

- Generous internal volume for hidden storage
- Easy-to-clean melamine surface requires minimal maintenance
- Minimalist aesthetic fits well with modern decor
- Compact dimensions ideal for bedrooms or entryways
Cons
- Requires full home assembly upon delivery

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The chest is designed for straightforward home assembly using standard household tools. Ensure you are working on a flat surface to prevent uneven alignment of the hinges.
Compatibility: The brown finish is neutral enough to complement wood-toned flooring or mid-century modern furniture palettes.
Care Instructions:
- Dust regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth.
- Use a soft, damp cloth for stubborn marks; avoid abrasive chemical cleaners that might scratch the melamine coating.
- Do not overload the lid with heavy weights, as it is designed for storage and occasional use rather than as a heavy-duty bench.
