SONGMICS Ottoman Coffee Table with Solid Wood Frame

Technical details

This round coffee table is designed for living rooms where a surface, a place to put your feet up, and easy-to-reach storage all matter. Its solid rubberwood frame and tufted upholstered top give it a softer look than a basic hard-surface table.

The table measures 31.5 inches in diameter and 17.7 inches high. The cushion has 2 inches of high-resilience foam under linen-look fabric, and the maker lists a maximum load of 660 lb (300 kg). A wide, slatted shelf sits beneath the seat for books, blankets, and other living-room items.

The frame is the structural part, the upholstered top is the part you can use as extra seating or a footrest. It arrives partially assembled with an Allen key, and the listed setup time is about 15 minutes.

Getting the most from it

The lower shelf is open rather than enclosed, so stored items stay visible and within reach. That suits folded throws or a few books better than belongings you want hidden away. It also means the table can look busy if the shelf becomes a catchall.

Compared with a conventional coffee table, this design adds a cushioned surface and a place to store everyday items. In a smaller seating area, that can make one piece do more than provide a spot for drinks. It does not offer the closed storage of a lidded ottoman, though, and its round footprint takes up 31.5 inches of floor space. Measure the area around your seating before choosing it.

Usage tips

Use the top as a footrest while watching TV, or as occasional extra seating when guests need another place to sit. For a simple living-room reset, fold a throw onto the lower shelf and keep a book there, after a movie, both are easy to grab without opening a drawer or moving another piece of furniture.

The cushion is upholstered, so this is a softer, more lounge-friendly choice than a bare wood or glass table. In turn, it may not suit someone who specifically wants a firm, wipe-clean tabletop for frequent meals or messy projects. Keep the shelf’s open layout in mind when deciding what to store there.

It suits you if you want a round coffee table that can also serve as a footrest, occasional seat, and open blanket shelf. You may want to skip it if concealed storage or a clear, hard tabletop is your priority.

Before you decide

Can it be used as extra seating? The product is presented for use as extra seating, and its listed maximum load is 660 lb (300 kg).

Is the storage hidden? No. The blanket and book storage is on a wide, open slatted shelf below the top.

Does it arrive fully assembled? No. It comes partially preassembled with an Allen key, the listed assembly time is about 15 minutes.

Buying verdict

This SONGMICS table makes most sense when you’ll use both levels: the upholstered top for sitting or putting your feet up, and the shelf for items you want close at hand. Its rubberwood frame, round shape, and cushioned surface give it a different role from a simple tabletop coffee table. The tradeoff is practical rather than complicated: the storage stays on display, and the piece still needs room for its full diameter. Choose it for a living room that benefits from an extra soft surface and accessible storage, look elsewhere if you need a compact table with concealed compartments or a firm work surface.
