I am a furniture carpenter in Lahore with 15+ years experience, working daily with solid wood frames, fabric upholstery, foam density, and load balance. Ottoman stools look simple, but wrong wood, weak joints, or cheap foam can fail within months.
In Pakistan, ottoman stools are now widely used in offices, bedrooms, lounges, receptions, and dressing areas. According to local furniture market data (Ichhra & DHA Phase 6), demand for multi-functional seating increased by 38% after 2022, especially compact furniture.
