1. AmasSmile Ottoman with Storage,17″ Folding Leather Foot Rest Chest,Black — Middle listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 17″ D × 13″ W × 13″ H; item weight 4 pounds; listed maximum weight 330 pounds; material Engineered Wood; color Black.

The AmasSmile is the most compact rectangular option by listed footprint at 1.53 square feet, measuring 17 inches deep by 13 inches wide and 13 inches high. Its 4-pound weight and foldable design may suit rooms where the ottoman needs to move or disappear between uses. The listing states that it has engineered-wood construction, soft foam, a black finish, a 330-pound maximum weight recommendation, and 38 liters of hidden storage. It can function as a footrest, seat, coffee table, or bed footstool. The listing calls the style Compact, but it does not state the upholstery material beyond the leather wording in the title.

Pros

• Lightest listed option at 4 pounds and folds for storage.
• Provides 38 liters of hidden storage.
• Has a 330-pound maximum weight recommendation.

Cons

• The listing does not state the interior storage dimensions.
• Its 13-inch seat height is lower than the other two options.
• The listing does not clearly identify the upholstery material; it only uses leather wording in the title.

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick this for a low, portable footrest with concealed storage in a tight room. Skip it if you want a taller seat or clearly specified leather upholstery.

2. Leather Storage Ottoman Round, Foot Stool with Storage for Living Room — Smallest listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 14.8″ D × 14.8″ W × 17.3″ H; item weight 17.5 pounds; listed maximum weight 330 pounds; material Faux Leather; frame Wood; color Brown.

This brown round ottoman measures 14.8 inches in diameter and 17.3 inches high, giving it the smallest listed footprint at 1.52 square feet. The listing describes it as a two-ottoman nesting set, with a larger ottoman and a compact piece that tucks inside. It identifies faux leather upholstery, a wood frame, high-density elastic sponge, and a 330-pound maximum weight recommendation. The lid can be flipped to create a flat surface, and the hidden compartment is intended for blankets, pillows, and daily essentials. At 17.5 pounds, it is substantially heavier than the AmasSmile.

Pros

• Smallest listed footprint at 1.52 square feet.
• Includes two nesting ottomans according to the listing.
• Combines faux leather, seating, storage, and a flip-over lid.

Cons

• The listing does not state the storage compartment’s capacity or interior dimensions.
• At 17.5 pounds, it is heavier than the other listed options.
• Its round shape may provide less usable tabletop area than a square ottoman.

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick this if you want a round faux-leather nesting set and a taller 17.3-inch seat. Skip it if you need the lightest option or rectangular surfaces for narrow spaces.

3. HomePop Square Tufted Storage Ottoman – Distressed Brown Faux Leather Small — Largest listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 17.5″ D × 17.5″ W × 17.5″ H; item weight 16.5 pounds; listed maximum weight 250 pounds; material Wood and Polyurethane; frame Engineered Wood; color Light Brown.

The HomePop is the largest listed option at 2.13 square feet, with a 17.5-inch square footprint and 17.5-inch height. Its light-brown distressed faux leather and decorative tufting give it a more traditional appearance than the other choices. The listing states that it has wood and polyurethane construction, an engineered-wood frame, spot-clean maintenance, and easy assembly. It supports a maximum weight recommendation of 250 pounds and weighs 16.5 pounds. The concealed storage is intended for items such as remotes, controls, and magazines. The square shape can provide a stable surface, but it uses more floor area.

Pros

• Square 17.5-inch shape can work as a footrest, seat, or storage cube.
• Listing states that it is easy to assemble and spot clean.
• Decorative tufting and distressed faux leather create a distinct transitional look.

Cons

• Largest listed footprint at 2.13 square feet.
• Its 250-pound maximum weight recommendation is lower than the other two.
• The listing does not state the storage capacity or interior dimensions.

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick this for a square, tufted faux-leather ottoman when appearance and a taller seat matter more than floor space. Skip it for very tight rooms or a higher listed weight recommendation.

What to check before buying leather ottoman small

Start with the floor footprint, because a small ottoman still needs clearance around seating and walkways. The AmasSmile lists 1.53 square feet from 17 inches by 13 inches; the round Leather Storage Ottoman lists 1.52 square feet from its 14.8-inch diameter; and the HomePop lists 2.13 square feet from 17.5 inches by 17.5 inches. Choose the AmasSmile or round model when every bit of floor area matters, and choose the HomePop only if its square form and styling justify the extra space.

Next, compare height with the way you will use the piece. The AmasSmile has a 13-inch seat height, while the round ottoman is 17.3 inches and the HomePop is 17.5 inches. Pick the AmasSmile for a low footrest; consider either taller model for seating or a higher surface. The listings do not provide interior storage dimensions, so do not assume that a stated storage feature will fit a particular blanket, pillow, or device.

Check the stated weight recommendation before using an ottoman as a seat. The AmasSmile and round ottoman each list 330 pounds, while the HomePop lists 250 pounds. These are maximum recommendations, not guarantees about comfort or stability. The AmasSmile is the lightest at 4 pounds and folds, making it the easiest to move or put away. The round model weighs 17.5 pounds and the HomePop weighs 16.5 pounds.

Finally, match the upholstery and appearance to your needs. The round ottoman and HomePop explicitly say faux leather; the AmasSmile title uses leather wording, but its material details identify engineered wood rather than upholstery. Choose the round option for nesting pieces, the HomePop for tufting, or the AmasSmile for compact foldaway storage.

Worked example: fit math for these three options

This worked example is our own planning arithmetic from the listed dimensions, not test results. The wall length and walkway width are assumed example values; replace them with your measurements.

Wall example. Assume 36 inches of clear wall.

• AmasSmile Ottoman with Storage: 36 − 13 = 23 inches spare; centred, 11.5 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• Leather Storage Ottoman Round: 36 − 14.8 = 21.2 inches spare; centred, 10.6 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• HomePop Square Tufted Storage Ottoman: 36 − 17.5 = 18.5 inches spare; centred, 9.25 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.

Walkway example. The US Access Board gives 36 inches as the minimum clear width for an accessible route. That figure is a yardstick, not a rule for private homes. To keep 36 inches clear beside each product, the walkway between it and the opposite obstacle must be at least 36 inches plus its depth:

• AmasSmile Ottoman with Storage: 36 + 17 = 53 inches of total path width.
• Leather Storage Ottoman Round: 36 + 14.8 = 50.8 inches of total path width.
• HomePop Square Tufted Storage Ottoman: 36 + 17.5 = 53.5 inches of total path width.

Footprint. Depth × width, converted at 144 square inches per square foot:

• AmasSmile Ottoman with Storage: 17 × 13 = 221 sq in, or 1.53 sq ft.
• Leather Storage Ottoman Round: 14.8 × 14.8 = 219.04 sq in, or 1.52 sq ft.
• HomePop Square Tufted Storage Ottoman: 17.5 × 17.5 = 306.25 sq in, or 2.13 sq ft.

Mistakes to avoid

• Ignoring seat height. A 13-inch footrest will feel different from the 17.3-inch and 17.5-inch options. Measure against the chair or sofa before choosing an ottoman for seating.
• Treating footprint as storage size. The listed square-foot figures describe floor area, not the interior compartment. The listings do not state interior dimensions or storage capacity for these products.
• Assuming leather means genuine leather. The round ottoman and HomePop explicitly list faux leather, while the AmasSmile’s material details do not clearly specify its upholstery.
• Skipping the weight recommendation. The AmasSmile and round model list 330 pounds, but the HomePop lists 250 pounds. Use those product-specific limits when considering the ottoman as a seat.

Frequently asked questions

Which small leather ottoman takes up the least floor space?

The round Leather Storage Ottoman has the smallest listed footprint at 1.52 square feet, based on its 14.8-inch diameter. The AmasSmile is listed at 1.53 square feet, so the difference is only 0.01 square feet. The HomePop is larger at 2.13 square feet. Allow additional clearance for use and access around any ottoman.

Which option is best for a low footrest?

The AmasSmile has the lowest listed seat height at 13 inches, compared with 17.3 inches for the round ottoman and 17.5 inches for the HomePop. It also weighs 4 pounds and folds, which may make it easier to move beside a chair. The listing does not provide a recommended sofa or chair height pairing.

Are these ottomans made from genuine leather?

The round Leather Storage Ottoman and HomePop explicitly identify faux leather. The AmasSmile title uses the word leather, but its listed material type is engineered wood and the data does not clearly identify the upholstery material. Check the current product listing if genuine leather is essential to your purchase.

Which ottoman has the most stated weight capacity?

The AmasSmile and the round Leather Storage Ottoman each list a maximum weight recommendation of 330 pounds. The HomePop lists 250 pounds. These figures are product recommendations from the listings, and the data does not provide additional information about testing, stability, or how the weight should be distributed.
