I like the last two the best. They're both super sleek.
Lamps plus chrome cone ottoman or lamps plus curved basswood bench, I can't decide even if they are different styles
So many cute options !! Love the twig table and the tom tom gold storage stool !!

i love the lamps plus x-frame ottoman - looks pretty comfy to sit on too :)
Definitely the top middle! It looks great and comfy and it's low enough to easily reach down
I love the twig table and the last one.

CLASSY AND SASSY
benches are so ideal for your home! they are small, cute, gorgeous and always come in handy when you have invite some people! my favorite stools are the kartell gnomes and the fabulous vitra wooden stools! oh and they are even more interesting when you can use them as storage
I think the hexagonal table is the best. Definitely =]
In second place I would be all for the curved basswood bench.
Hope that helps! =]

What great choices - i love the hexagonal one!
I actually like most of them ! But my favorite is the second black one, just looks the most practical :)

new outfit post !
I like the high fashion home hexagonal table the most.
Tough call! I'm leaning towards the gold garden stool or the hexagon table.

For me it's a toss up between the chrome cone ottoman or the curved basewood bench.
Such a beautifully eclectic mix of timeless and contemporary pieces! I would have to say that my favorites are the West Elm side table and Curved basswood bench, hands down.

Hi Kelly! I would take the 3rd one, the drum with ancient coin interlock. Everyday after you come home from work you'll feel like you sit on a pile of money hihihih
Love from Bangkok!

that second one in the last row! :) amazing

for aesthetics, i love the last gold one, the hourglass. also love the velvet and gold leaf, and the silver horn base.
in terms of plopping down, if that is indeed the activity, not sure any of these selections would be desired. they seem to weigh more heavily on the form as opposed to function end of the spectrum.
i am sure, though, you could sit daintily on them and remove your shoes.

I like the second one from the top!

i love them all :))

You can't lose with any of them, but I like the hexagonal one and the CB2 contact stool the best, I think.

I like the basswood bench or the gold storage stool. Very different, I know, but I feel like they could both work!
The x-framed ottoman by lamps plus is surely my favorite.
I know Target sells these as well.
Be sure to let us know which one you choose!

oh very nice choices! all really great!

love all of your picks, you have such great taste. but i especially love the Java Curved Basswood Bench or the Gold Garden Stool. hope you share which one makes the cut =)

Love them all! I could use one of these in my apartment.

When I saw the gold bench in the bottom row it reminded me of your apartment(what I have seen of it, I mean!) The Basswood bench is beautiful too and may be more comfortable for sitting.
very timely post, i am searching for the same thing right now! my dad is trying to make me an x-bench/ottoman, and i'll upholster the top. i really love either the velvet + gold leaf stool, or the curved basswood bench.
The Lamps Plus x-frame ottoman! So timeless and elegant and you can't beat that price! I may need to pick on up myself!
Gold garden stool or curved basswood bench. Love your website, very inspirational!
http://homestyleliving.wordpress.com
Oh, yes, it's so true that sometimes you simply don't know what is lacking from your home to make it more comfortable.
I think the LAMPS PLUS X-FRAME OTTOMAN would match very well to your apartment! :)

I like the lamps plus curved basswood bench best. I am in need of a hall bench as well... two in fact. One for sitting and one to act as a base for a gorgeous oversized ornate mirror that found on the curb recently. I love the angle of a mirror that is leaned against the wall, but this one is not quite tall enough on its own.
the leather black one on the top is my favorite
http://girlynote.blogspot.com
Either of the gold garden stools! Glam and they don't take up much space!
http://www.inherentstylela.com/
Hard choice. I think that the hexagonal is my personal favorite, but I suppose I'd have to seat on them to choose one (comfort is important too).
they're all so glam and stylish !

Loooove the velvet and gold stool! In fact, I just bought the exact same one myself! But don't spend $600 on it!
It's by World's Away (http://worlds-away.com/product/x-upholstered-stool-goldbrown-velvet), and the wholesale price is under $300!!
Oh gosh, you have selected so many fantastic options, but for your apartment I would go with the Lamps Plus X-ottoman. Can't wait to see which one you choose!
I'm loving the hexagonal table! The legs have such an interesting shape.
my two favs are: the gold garden stool because its cute and shiny or the lamps plus carved basswood bench because it looks slightly more comfortable for shoe removal.
Nice selection. I like the gold garden stool and high fashion home twig table best.

Great post! These are so cool! XOXO, www.NatalyasCloset.com
my vote is for the curved basswood. i know if i had a long day in nyc, that would look the most inviting and welcoming.
runner up would be the velvet and gold leaf.
I love the lamps plus curved basswood bench & the high fashion home twig table
I like the curved wooden bench but would you want anything for storage?
I LOVE the bronze drum shaped one!!
http://mstwirlyskirts.com
The bronze drum that looks like it's from Africia is awesome for an entryway and the dark brown one that is shapped like a half C looks very greek! Either way these are great choices for your house.
Awesome awesome! I found a new blog who also features some cool interiors art and fashion too that kinda reminds me of you. Not to compare!!! :)

Velvet+Gold Leaf Stool is so perfect!
verypleasantlyjaded.blogspot.com
I love the 'lamps plus curved basswood bench', something about the curves and the warmer wood feel. Also it looks like it would be the most comfortable for putting on and off shoes. I take up a lot of space leaning this way and that!
Some of these are better suited as martini tables. Love the horn one but I have it and it's not soooo great for sitting on. So it you want to "plop" and pull your shoes off and long day then the 2 upholstered pieces are probably best bet. I like the shape of the gold one with brown suede...simple yet stylish.
cp palm springs
lamps plus curved basswood bench definitely!
I have my favorites, but for you aesthetic, I think the high fashion home hexagonal table or lamps plus curved basswood bench would be awesome. :)
I guess I am the only one that loves the Chrome ones..But for ploppind down I think of the x framed ottoman but there is something about the curved basswood bench with one of your faux white furs or a velvet cushion,so many things you could do with that bench..black laquer or gold..gee I could go on and on..
i like the high fashion home hexagon table

These are all so pretty!

Love the wooden curved one! Would that be monochrome enough though

My fav is the Moroccan style seat
So beautiful, I love your look!!!

Number two, padded leather top seems more practical and yet stylish
I love the 4th one and 2nd last one!
lamps plus' ottoman and bench - simple, stylish, both look rather comfortable
too hard to narrow down, love them all!!!
Velvet + gold leaf stool is a beauty.
And I'm drawn to the silver foiled finish/seams - but not sure about the line. Could be great though.
Is it going near that tremendous new shelf and all the mirrors? Hard to know...
You're so amazing - it'll be a treat to see what you decide.
Both golden ebay stools are my faves!
the velvet + gold ebay stool is by far my favourite!

The second one is my top-favourite!
i love all of these gold pieces!!
velvet with gold leaf!
I love the first one. it has a really nice modern touch!
www.forever-head-over-heels.blogspot.com
The x frame from lampsplus will give you a lifetime of service - it's a classic, has enough room to sit on (most of those that look like tables don't>, and it is so versatile that you will be able to use it in your mansion someday.
Hugs, Cluny
the velvet + gold leaf stool - easy.
hands down the gold garden stool. my second choice would be the velvet and gold leaf stool because it looks comfy to actually sit down.

I like the wooden one on the bottom row... it looks very oriental and I love eastern inspired decor.
