OK, so this square ottoman might not have the internal storage space of some of the others below, but the Aztec-inspired print (and price) are too good to pass up.

The black legs give it such a luxe modern industrial feel, too.

Girl... I know what you're thinking already. $500! Which is why we've left this one for last. But trust me, the large storage ottoman will continue to serve year after year.
