A good ottoman is so much more than a footrest—they double as extra seating or makeshift coffee tables, and their low height makes them ideal accent pieces to your other furniture. One could easily drop several hundred (or more) on ottoman, but that doesn’t mean you need to. Here are our favorites for $200 and below.
