About nine years ago, Aldi's storage ottomans went viral. I spent several days driving from store to store while trying to get my hands on one, ultimately coming home with a beige version. That ottoman sat in our family's playroom for years, serving as the place we stashed toys, kicked our feet up on when we watched a family movie together, and was the spot that my youngest bravely let go of when he took his first steps.
Now, Aldi is bringing the ottoman back to stores, and I have a hunch that it's going to become a hot commodity for shoppers once again. Here's what you need to know to get your hands on one before they sell out.
SOHL Pavement Ottoman, $19.99 Aldi
Fans of quick and easy storage solutions are going to love the SOHL Pavement Ottoman from Aldi. Sold for just $19.99, this ottoman comes with two pieces: a sturdy bottom cubby and a soft, padded top that keeps everything tucked away and out of sight.
The ottoman will be sold in three colorways: gray, pavement, and taupe.
When and Where to Find It
I am not kidding when I say that these were super viral years ago, and they sold out quickly at many stores. In fact, people were all over Facebook Aldi groups sharing the locations where they found them on shelves so that those who lived nearby could try to get to the store before they sold out.
If you're hoping to get ahead of the craze and get one for yourself, you'll need to head to your local Aldi starting July 29, since that's when these are supposed to drop.

More Ways to Save on Storage
While I'm obviously still a little partial to this ottoman, there are plenty of other great storage options available if you want to cut costs. For example, those looking to free up some space in their freezer may want to take advantage of this renter's hack, which involves removing all of your frozen items from their original bulky packaging, cutting the directions (and expiration date) out, and storing them separately.
Of course, the real MVP in storage solutions is finding something that works for your specific storage needs. For excess toys, throw blankets that always end up on the floor, or pillows you want to keep tucked away when not in use, Aldi's ottoman reigns supreme.
