Patiorama 2 Piece Outdoor Patio Ottomans, All-Weather PE Rattan Wicker Ottoman with Storage, Footrest Footstool w/ Thick Cushion, Navy Blue Review (2026)

Dual purpose as seating and storage

Each ottoman in this two piece set opens at the top to reveal hidden storage space inside the frame, useful on a balcony for stashing seat cushions, small tools, or citronella candles when they are not in use. The manufacturer describes a hollow, built in handle design that doubles as a way to carry each ottoman, which matters for a balcony where furniture sometimes needs to be moved indoors before a storm. With the cushion removed, each ottoman can also work as a small side table, adding a third use beyond just a footrest or extra seat. That combination of seating, storage, and occasional table use gives the pair more flexibility on a small balcony than a simple stool or footrest would offer.

Materials and weatherproofing

The frame is powder coated steel wrapped in PE resin wicker, a synthetic weave built to resist the UV fading and cracking that natural rattan suffers when left outdoors. Aluminum feet with adjustable levelers help the ottomans sit flat on an uneven balcony floor, similar in concept to the leveling feet found on outdoor side tables. Because the frame materials are all rated for outdoor exposure, the ottomans are built to be left outside through a full season without needing to be brought in after every use, though the fabric cushions still benefit from cover during heavy or extended rain. This all weather build is a real advantage over ottomans built with untreated wood or basic fabric frames that break down quickly outdoors.

Cushions and comfort

Each ottoman ships with a cushion filled with high density foam, described by the manufacturer as roughly three inches thick, enough padding to make the ottomans comfortable as extra seating rather than just a hard footrest. The navy blue cushion covers use zippers that make them removable for washing, a practical detail since outdoor cushions collect dust, pollen, and occasional spills over a season of balcony use. Dark navy fabric like this is a practical choice for hiding dirt between washes better than a lighter color would, though any outdoor fabric left in strong, direct sun for a full summer can fade over time regardless of color. Removing cushions during storage periods will help extend their color and texture.

Size and weight capacity

Each ottoman measures roughly 15.5 inches wide and deep by 18 inches tall, a compact footprint that suits a balcony corner rather than a large patio seating area, and the pair is listed with an individual weight capacity around 250 pounds per ottoman. That capacity is enough for use as a normal seat, not just a footrest, which broadens how the pieces can be used day to day. Because the storage compartment and steel frame add real weight compared with a lightweight stool, the ottomans are sturdier to sit on but heavier to move around than to lighter folding options, something to factor in in if the pieces need to be relocated indoors seasonally rather than left in place.

Who this ottoman set suits

This pair fits a balcony owner who wants comfortable, weatherproof seating that doubles as hidden storage for small items and occasionally as a side table. It works well paired with other rattan style balcony furniture for a coordinated look, and the cushions add genuine comfort over a hard stool. Buyers with a very tight balcony should measure carefully, since two ottomans at roughly 15.5 inches each take up meaningful floor space together. Anyone who prioritizes minimal weight for easy indoor storage over winter may prefer a lighter, non storage stool instead, since the built in compartment adds bulk these ottomans carry along with their extra function.
