We're helping a family member furnish their empty living room and, with a 5-year-old and a 6-month-old, these storage cubes from West Elm make the perfect ottoman/coffee table/toy catch-all...
West Elm Storage Cube
Boston
Since they weren't really interested in a traditional coffee table—just a road block for an energetic 5-year-old—but still needed a place to prop up their feet and hide stray toys, we thought this soft storage cube was the best solution. We're not fans of all storage cubes, but this West Elm version is nice and simple and we love the fabric options.
It also comes in two sizes: the true cube and a longer bench.

I just noticed this cube in the latest West Elm catalog this afternoon. We have an armless sectional so there is already a lot of boxy furniture in our living room but I like the cinnamon/paprika color a lot and it would complement the color palette we've got going. Is that too much boxy, upholstered furniture for one room?

Hey Quiltmaster- love your cubes. Where did you get them and did you recover them yourself? Thanks!

These have a more Moroccan flair:

Cube came from Home Goods. I think they are related to TJ Maxx. They look just like a TJ Maxx only just housewares.
Cynthia, I don't think the ottoman would be add too much boxy-ness if you also add a leggy table & occasional chair and a few curvy accessories.

Oh. And the cubes came with that fabric. We got very lucky.
