1. BLEXA Round Ottoman with Storage, Set of 2, Velvet Vanity Stool, Black — Middle listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 14.76″ D × 14.76″ W × 17.32″ H; item weight 15.4 pounds; listed maximum weight 300 pounds; material Engineered Wood; color Black.

The BLEXA Round Ottoman with Storage is a black contemporary set of two velvet vanity stools. The listed round ottoman measures 14.76 inches deep by 14.76 inches wide by 17.32 inches high, with a 1.51 sq ft footprint. It weighs 15.4 pounds and lists a 300-pound maximum weight recommendation. The supplied specs name engineered wood for both material and frame. The listing says the set can work as an ottoman, vanity stool, or footrest, with a smaller round ottoman inside the larger one. Both pieces are described as having storage for items such as toys, clothes, or magazines.

Pros

• Set of two round ottomans, with a smaller storage stool inside the larger one
• Lists a 300-pound maximum weight recommendation
• Both pieces are described as having hidden storage

Cons

• The listing does not provide dimensions or capacity for the smaller ottoman
• Specs list engineered wood for material and frame despite the velvet wording in the title, so verify upholstery details
• Its 14.76-inch outer width is smaller than the Green Bar Stools’ 19-inch width

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick it for black velvet stools when a nested pair with hidden storage fits the room. Skip it if you need published specifications for the smaller stool or a counter-height seat.

2. LUE BONA Vanity Stool, Black Vanity Stools for Makeup Room, Round Ottoman Foot Stool, Velvet Footrest Vanity Chair for Bathroom Vanity, Bedroom, Living Room, Entryway, Offices — Smallest listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 13″ D × 14″ W × 6″ H; item weight 5.4 pounds; listed maximum weight 200 pounds; material Velvet; frame Metal; color Black.

The LUE BONA Vanity Stool is a black modern velvet stool with a metal frame, a 13-inch depth, 14-inch width, and 6-inch listed height, for the smallest 1.26 sq ft footprint. It weighs 5.4 pounds and lists a 200-pound maximum weight recommendation. The specs name a 17.5-inch seat height, while a bullet calls it 18 inches high with a 6-inch-thick cushion; confirm that discrepancy before measuring a vanity. The listing describes three gold metal legs, non-slip pads, and installation with three feet and nine screws. It can serve as a footrest, vanity stool, shoe bench, or side table with a tray.

Pros

• Smallest listed footprint at 1.26 sq ft
• Velvet material with a metal frame, three gold legs, and non-slip pads
• Instructions, tools, three feet, and nine screws are included for installation

Cons

• The supplied dimensions, 17.5-inch seat-height spec, and 18-inch bullet do not agree; verify height before buying
• The listing does not describe storage
• A tray is mentioned for side-table conversion, but the supplied data does not say one is included

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick it for a compact black velvet stool with metal legs near a vanity, after confirming height. Skip it if you want a storage set, a stated tray inclusion, or a counter stool.

3. Green Bar Stools Set of 2, 24 Inch Velvet Barstools Mid-Century — Largest listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 15″ D × 19″ W × 35″ H; item weight 12.86 kg; listed maximum weight 300 pounds; frame Metal; color Green.

The Green Bar Stools Set of 2 is a green modern pair with a metal frame, a 15-inch depth, 19-inch width, and 35-inch overall height, making its listed footprint 1.98 sq ft. The title calls them 24-inch velvet barstools, and the listing gives a 300-pound maximum weight recommendation and a 12.86 kg item weight. These are counter stools rather than low vanity or footrest stools: the listing says they suit table or counter heights from 34 inches to 38 inches. It also describes an ergonomic wood board and includes step-by-step assembly instructions, hardware, and tools.

Pros

• Set of two counter stools for listed 34-38 inch table or counter heights
• Lists a 300-pound maximum weight recommendation
• Hardware and tools are included with step-by-step assembly instructions

Cons

• Counter-stool format does not match a low footrest or vanity-stool use
• Largest listed footprint here at 1.98 sq ft
• The supplied specs name a metal frame but do not list upholstery material details beyond the velvet wording in the title

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick it only if you need green velvet counter stools for a 34-38 inch counter or table. Skip it for a low vanity, footrest, or storage-ottoman role.

What to check before buying velvet stools

Start by separating low velvet stools from counter seating. BLEXA is a black set of two round storage ottomans, listed at 17.32 inches high. LUE BONA is a black vanity-style stool with a 17.5-inch seat-height spec, although its dimensions and a bullet give other height figures. Green Bar Stools are a pair of counter stools with a 35-inch overall height; their listing limits the intended table or counter height to 34-38 inches. Do not treat the Green set as a substitute for a low footrest.

Then measure the base. LUE BONA has the smallest listed footprint at 1.26 sq ft from 13 by 14 inches. BLEXA is 14.76 by 14.76 inches, or 1.51 sq ft; the difference is 1.51 – 1.26 = 0.25 sq ft. Green Bar Stools use 1.98 sq ft from a 15-by-19-inch base. These are different shapes, so compare width and depth as well as the square-foot label.

Function is the next divider. BLEXA is the only supplied listing that describes storage in both an outer ottoman and a smaller inner stool. LUE BONA is described as a footrest, vanity stool, shoe bench, or side table with a tray, but no storage. Green Bar Stools are explicitly counter chairs. Choose BLEXA for storage; choose LUE BONA for compact vanity-side use after confirming height; choose Green only for its specified counter range.

Capacity and construction provide a final check. BLEXA and Green each list a 300-pound maximum weight recommendation, while LUE BONA lists 200 pounds. BLEXA’s specs name engineered wood for material and frame despite velvet in its title; LUE BONA lists velvet and metal; Green provides a metal frame but no material-type field in the supplied specs.

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.

• BLEXA Round Ottoman with Storage: 36 − 14.76 = 21.24 inches spare; centred, 10.62 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• LUE BONA Vanity Stool: 36 − 14 = 22 inches spare; centred, 11 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• Green Bar Stools Set of 2: 36 − 19 = 17 inches spare; centred, 8.5 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:

• BLEXA Round Ottoman with Storage: 36 + 14.76 = 50.76 inches of total path width.
• LUE BONA Vanity Stool: 36 + 13 = 49 inches of total path width.
• Green Bar Stools Set of 2: 36 + 15 = 51 inches of total path width.

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

• BLEXA Round Ottoman with Storage: 14.76 × 14.76 = 217.86 sq in, or 1.51 sq ft.
• LUE BONA Vanity Stool: 13 × 14 = 182 sq in, or 1.26 sq ft.
• Green Bar Stools Set of 2: 15 × 19 = 285 sq in, or 1.98 sq ft.

Mistakes to avoid

• Putting counter stools at a vanity. Green Bar Stools are for a listed 34-38 inch table or counter and stand 35 inches overall. They are not the low-footrest alternative to the BLEXA or LUE BONA designs.
• Using one LUE BONA height number. The supplied dimensions say 6 inches high, the specs say 17.5-inch seat height, and a bullet says 18 inches with a 6-inch cushion. Confirm the listing before matching it to furniture.
• Assuming the BLEXA pair has fully published inner-stool specs. The listing describes a smaller round ottoman inside the larger one, but does not provide its dimensions or capacity in the supplied data.
• Equating velvet titles with identical build details. LUE BONA lists velvet and a metal frame; BLEXA specs list engineered wood; Green lists a metal frame. Check the construction information that matters for your intended use.

Frequently asked questions

Which velvet stools include storage?

BLEXA is the only listing here that describes storage. It is a set of two round ottomans, with a smaller stool inside the larger one, and both are said to have hidden storage. LUE BONA and Green Bar Stools do not describe storage in the supplied data.

Are the Green Bar Stools suitable for a standard vanity?

The Green Bar Stools listing says they suit a table or counter height from 34 inches to 38 inches. Their overall height is 35 inches, and the title identifies them as 24-inch barstools. They are therefore not the low vanity-stool format represented by the other two listings.

Why should I verify the LUE BONA height?

The supplied dimensions list 13 inches deep, 14 inches wide, and 6 inches high. Its specs instead give a 17.5-inch seat height, while a bullet calls it 18 inches high with a 6-inch cushion. Those figures need confirmation before you measure under a vanity.

What weight recommendation does each velvet stool list?

BLEXA lists a 300-pound maximum weight recommendation. LUE BONA lists 200 pounds. Green Bar Stools also list 300 pounds. Use the listed recommendation with the intended role, because the Green pair is designed for counter-height seating rather than a footrest.
