Heiress Ottoman – Luxe Tufted Storage Ottoman | Acme Furniture
Our Heiress Ottoman brings Hollywood Regency elegance to your living room with its signature diamond-tufted upholstery and gleaming crystal button accents. Designed as both a statement piece and a practical storage solution, this ottoman features a lift-top lid that reveals a spacious hidden compartment—ideal for storing throw blankets, magazines, or seasonal décor.
Crafted with a solid wood frame and wrapped in plush velvet-like fabric, the Heiress Ottoman serves multiple roles in your home. Use it as extra seating during gatherings, prop your feet up for movie nights, or place a tray on top to create an impromptu coffee table. The hand-applied crystal tufting catches light beautifully, while the generous 10-inch cushion depth ensures comfort whether you’re sitting or using it as a footrest.
We’ve designed the Heiress Ottoman to coordinate seamlessly with our full Heiress collection, but it stands beautifully on its own in any glam, transitional, or contemporary living space. The neutral upholstery options we offer make it easy to match your existing furniture while adding that touch of luxury your room deserves.
Heiress Ottoman at a glance
Construction & Upholstery Details
We build the Heiress Ottoman on a kiln-dried hardwood frame that resists warping and provides structural integrity for years of daily use. The frame joinery uses corner blocks and reinforced screws at stress points, ensuring the piece remains stable even with the lift-top mechanism in constant operation.
The upholstery process involves hand-tufting each diamond pattern individually, then securing genuine crystal buttons at each intersection point. Our upholsterers pull the fabric taut to create those signature peaks and valleys that define the tufted look. We wrap the exterior in a velvet-polyester blend that mimics the softness of true velvet while offering superior stain resistance and easier maintenance.
Storage Capacity & Lid Mechanism
The Heiress Ottoman’s storage compartment measures approximately 32 inches wide by 20 inches deep and 10 inches tall internally, providing roughly 3.7 cubic feet of hidden space. This capacity easily accommodates four to six folded throw blankets, a full set of guest bedding, or several months’ worth of magazines and remote controls.
We’ve equipped the lid with soft-close hinges that prevent slamming and pinched fingers—especially important in homes with children or pets. The hinges are rated for 10,000 open-close cycles, and the lift mechanism requires minimal effort thanks to the counterbalance design. The lid sits flush when closed, maintaining the clean lines of the tufted top surface.
Styling & Placement Suggestions
Living Room Configurations
The Heiress Ottoman’s 36-inch width makes it perfectly proportioned to sit in front of a standard sofa or loveseat. We recommend placing it 14 to 18 inches away from your seating for comfortable leg extension. When used as a coffee table alternative, top it with a decorative tray to create a stable surface for drinks and snacks while protecting the tufted upholstery.
In open-concept spaces, position the ottoman as a room divider that defines your seating area without blocking sightlines. The 18-inch height aligns with most sofa seat heights, creating visual continuity. Pair it with our Heiress Accent Chair to establish a cohesive glam aesthetic throughout the room.

Questions About the Heiress Ottoman
The Heiress Ottoman is engineered to support up to 250 pounds when used as a seat. Our solid wood frame construction and reinforced joinery provide this capacity safely.
We’ve tested the piece under repeated weight stress to ensure the frame, legs, and cushion all maintain their integrity over time. The 10-inch high-density foam cushion distributes weight evenly across the surface, preventing sagging or permanent indentations even with daily use.
For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry white cloth—do not rub. Mix a small amount of mild dish soap with lukewarm water, dampen a soft cloth with the solution, and gently dab the affected area working from the outside in.
Follow up with a cloth dampened in plain water to remove any soap residue, then blot dry with a towel. For tougher stains, we recommend contacting a professional upholstery cleaner who has experience with tufted velvet-blend fabrics. Always test cleaning solutions on a hidden area first.
Yes, the Heiress Ottoman works beautifully as a coffee table alternative when topped with a decorative tray. The 36-inch by 24-inch surface provides ample space for drinks, books, and décor.
We recommend using a tray to protect the tufted upholstery from moisture rings and spills. The 18-inch height aligns well with standard sofa seat heights, making it comfortable to reach items placed on top. Many of our customers prefer the ottoman to a traditional coffee table because it offers both surface space and hidden storage.
The crystal buttons are securely anchored through the upholstery, foam, and backing board with industrial-grade thread and reinforced stitching at each tufting point. We’ve designed them to withstand regular contact and cleaning.
The buttons are made from durable acrylic with a faceted finish, not fragile glass, so they resist chipping or scratching under normal use. In our quality testing, the buttons remained intact through thousands of simulated contact cycles. If a button ever loosens, our customer service team can provide replacement buttons and installation guidance.
The interior storage measures approximately 32 inches wide by 20 inches deep and 10 inches tall, accommodating bulky items like throw blankets, comforters, bed linens, or pillows. Many customers store seasonal décor, board games, magazines, or media equipment.
We include a removable fabric divider to help organize smaller items into separate sections. Avoid storing heavy objects that exceed 40 pounds total, as this can strain the lift-top hinges over time. The fabric-lined interior protects delicate items from dust and keeps everything concealed when guests visit.
We currently offer the Heiress Ottoman in four neutral colorways: champagne, dove gray, ivory, and charcoal. All versions feature the same velvet-polyester blend upholstery and crystal button accents.
The neutral palette allows the ottoman to coordinate with a wide range of existing furniture and décor styles. Each color option goes through the same hand-tufting process and quality standards. If you’re unsure which color works best for your space, our design consultants can provide fabric swatches and styling advice.
At 45 pounds, the Heiress Ottoman is manageable for one person to move across the same floor level, though two people make the task easier and reduce the risk of bumping walls or doorframes. The 36-inch width fits through standard doorways when angled slightly.
We recommend emptying the storage compartment before moving to reduce weight and prevent items from shifting inside. The included floor protectors allow the ottoman to slide smoothly across hardwood or tile when pushed gently. For frequent relocation, consider placing furniture sliders under the legs to protect your flooring and make movement effortless.
