Cardboard Storage Cube Ottoman

An easy, but kind of time consuming, super cheap storage ottoman and seat.  I saw a plan for a cardboard box cube in a vintage DIY furniture book that supposedly can hold up to 400 pounds.  I used this plan to make this storage cube.

Step 1:

Materials needed:

cardboard boxes
cutting implements
glue
packing or duct tape

optional:
batting
fabric
paint

Good Idea.

Have you actually tried sitting on it? Or holding storage in it? Because cardboard doesn't seem too promising.

I found it!! It's "Nomadic Furniture" by James Hennessy and Victor Papanek. It's super groovy and even has a plan to make a cardboard car seat for a child...yikes!!
