I looked for a leather storage ottoman in a bright color for a long time.  Most were in the $300 range.  I didn't have high hopes for quality because of the low price, but I was happily surprised.  It holds a set of extra sheets and a blanket for a guest bedroom easily and with a tray doubles as a coffe table.

Pros: great color options, good quality for the price
Cons: the legs tend to move if it's pushed rather than lifted because they don't screw in tight enough.
