How do I build a simple storage ottoman

[ElliotRollins]

Sure thing! Here are four different ways you could go about building a simple storage ottoman:

**Basic Wooden Box Method**: Start with some plywood or MDF. Cut out four pieces for the sides and a top. Assemble them using wood glue and screws. Sand it down to make it smooth, then paint or stain it to your liking. Add some foam and fabric on top for comfort, and voilà—your ottoman is ready!

**Upcycled Crate Style**: Grab an old wooden crate or two. Stack them on top of each other and secure them with some screws. You can add a cushioned top by using foam and fabric. This gives it a rustic look and is super easy to do!

**IKEA Hack**: Buy a cheap ottoman or storage cube from IKEA. Use it as a base and just add a custom cushion on top. You can cover the cushion with some fabric that matches your decor. It’s quick, easy, and you end up with a stylish piece!
