crescent ottoman

Milan/Wayfair, Wayfair

Promising reviews: "This ottoman saves space in our living room thanks to its unique shape (compared to our old one, which was a rectangle). The inside storage can hold one full-size throw blanket and a few odds and ends. When the top is flipped over to use the wooden board to hold drinks, remotes, etc., it has remained stable and in place (even with our 100-pound-plus dogs running around playing and shaking the house)." —Cortney
