The Belugahelper ottoman provides a wipeable storage solution using a synthetic PVC-based material. This 17-inch unit is designed for rapid assembly, often taking less than a minute to deploy. It is particularly useful as an under-desk footrest or a small storage chest for items that might occasionally spill, as the synthetic top is easy to clean.
Specifications indicate a static load capacity of 350 lbs, though the build quality is best preserved by avoiding sudden movements or "scooting" while seated. The internal structure relies on the tension of the bottom board to prevent tilting. The lid is fully removable, which allows for unobstructed access to the interior, though it does not include a hinge or stay mechanism.
The padding consists of 25mm high-resilience foam, which provides a soft layer for resting feet. To maintain the appearance of the synthetic leather, it is helpful to keep the unit away from direct sunlight or very dry environments, which can cause the material to lose its flexibility over time.
Tests show that the unit is highly efficient for its size, providing a high storage-to-footprint ratio. Like many foldable furniture items, it may release a scent when first unboxed; placing it in a well-ventilated area for a few days will help clear the air.
If you prefer a fabric finish that is more breathable than synthetic leather, consider the Alasdo grey linen-style ottoman for your living space.
