Product Information
Full details
The Harbour Housewares Foldable Storage Ottoman in Grey Linen is designed for UK homeowners seeking a stylish and practical way to declutter their living spaces. Its primary benefit is its dual functionality as both a comfortable footrest or extra seating and a discreet storage solution, with the added advantage of being easily foldable for storage when not in use. A minor caveat is that while durable for everyday use, it is not intended for heavy weight-bearing as a primary seating option. This ottoman features a robust MDF frame, a chic linen-look fabric, and removable internal dividers for flexible organisation, making it a versatile addition to any room.

FAQs
How quickly can I assemble this ottoman?
Assembly is very quick, typically taking less than a minute as it requires no tools. You simply unfold the main box, insert the base, and add the dividers.
What is the maximum weight capacity for sitting?
While designed for general use, it is not rated for heavy weight-bearing as primary seating. It is best used as a footrest or for light, occasional seating.
Can I remove the internal dividers permanently?
Yes, the two internal dividers are designed to be removable, allowing you to create a single, larger storage compartment when needed.
How do I clean the grey linen-look fabric?
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Always allow it to air dry completely.
What are the dimensions when folded flat?
The ottoman folds down to a slim profile, approximately 2-3 inches thick, making it easy to store under furniture or in narrow spaces.
Is the grey colour true to the images?
The grey linen-look fabric is designed to provide a neutral, modern aesthetic. Slight variations in colour may occur due to monitor settings and lighting conditions.
What is the product made of?
The frame is constructed from MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard), and the exterior is covered in a durable linen-look fabric.
Troubleshooting
Ottoman feels unstable or wobbly
Ensure the base insert is correctly positioned and fully seated at the bottom of the ottoman. Check that all sides are securely unfolded and locked into place.
Dividers do not fit correctly
Verify that the dividers are oriented correctly and that the main ottoman body is fully unfolded and rigid. The dividers should slide into the designated slots.
Fabric has a slight crease from folding
Allow the ottoman to sit unfolded for a few hours. You can also gently steam the fabric from a distance (do not apply direct heat) to help remove creases.
Difficulty folding the ottoman flat
Ensure all internal components (base and dividers) are removed before attempting to fold. Press down firmly on the sides to encourage the fold.
