There is a price-cut on the Gaming Ottoman's at Target. They appeared over the holidays for $59.99 but have recently been cut down to $39.99. They come in two colors: brown or red. They are great for storing accessories and video games. There are two separate trays inside of them. The tray on the top is typical for storing controllers and headsets. The tray on the bottom will hold up to 32 games. The Ottoman can also be used as a chair to go along with any Rock Band or Guitar Hero drum set.

The online link for the brown don't seem to be updated in price but both colors should be available for $39.99 in stores. Some stores may even have it going on clearance for $14.98 as reported by a few CAGs.

*The gaming ottomans are found in the furniture section of the store (next to the gaming chairs).

[utopianmachine]

Interesting item, but a definite pass for me. The material on these Target ottomans always seems so low-quality.

[lawdood]

$39.99? I saw a couple of these in a local Target last week on clearance for $14.98.

[bones56]

I have seen these, i think they sold quick in the Targets near me. Very interesting product though.

[konamifan2002]

Only red one comes up at 39.99

[bug_nuts]

$39.99? I saw a couple of these in a local Target last week on clearance for $14.98.

JEALOUS!!! i want one sooo bad lol..... till full price at my target :(

[smarkbran]

I will check on these at my local store hopefully I can score one super cheap, they are worth it to store the drums alone

[WuGgaRoO]

i have these... (i think i do at least) but they are the normal microsuede ottomans... they aren't terrible... but i think i ended up getting them for like 20 bucks during back to school week

[adawg555]

I will check on these at my local store hopefully I can score one super cheap, they are worth it to store the drums alone

I dont think those are big enough to store the drums. When it says they go along with Rock Band or Guitar Hero Drum sets, it means you can use the ottoman as a drum chair to play on.

[fatez]

yeah i apologize if it wasn't clear... it will not store the drums. the best u can do is probably put the kick pedal in the bottom section.

[kylerg]

What is on those controllers.

[fatez]

they are just silicone sleeves/gloves...

[ivan a rom]

I scored 2 brown ones for 14.98 a pop...plus the employee discount. :)

[mkelehan]

Cool idea. I'll check out my Target and see if they're on sale.

[georox]

Just paid 15 for mine... a week ago.

[CocheseUGA]

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll check out my stores today during my rounds.

[MCalvert1]

Are these in the furniture section?

MjC

[irishsoccermbw]

^ Yeah they are in the furniture section, right next to the gaming chairs that are on clearance (atleast in the 2 targets I've been to).

[Masterkyo]

Waste money for junks!!! I rather spend $15 buy new game or possible 2 games instead :)

[ivan a rom]

Waste money for junks!!! I rather spend $15 buy new game or possible 2 games instead :)

That's what I thought of them at $60. But at $15, me and the Gf have a place for my controllers and games (360+scene it/ps3/wii), DVDs, television remotes and other random entertainment crap. It is a much better look having them all put away, and the hassle for me is minimal.

[SirMikael]

That's not even bloody English, Mick.

[Rod92905]

If it came in black I'd be all over it......the brown or red will look real weird with the other furniture I got in my game room. But I do like the tray idea.

[noodlez]

I like this.

My gaming area is not really attractive with controllers, dongles, and such around.

I may have missed it but is this YMMV or seems pretty universal so far?

[Layd Dly]

If they were black i would be all over them. but brown and red just dont go with my HT.

[paddlefoot]

I have a red microfiber sofa. It looks like the color of the ottoman matches my sofa almost exactly. I may be obligated to buy it.

[Animal7390]

if they were at 15 like some people are picking them up at i would gladly pick up 1 or 2. at 40 it might be a little pricey.

[rukasu]

$40 at Escondido, CA (Auto Park Way) for either color. Plenty in stock (of course). Hope this hits $15 soon.

[Saix_XIII]

Gonna go out to my local Target and try to get a brown 1. May not be the best quality, but it's a cheap way to store all my controllers and I guess currently playing games, plus I need a drum seat. So for $15 it does a few things that come in handy.

[Felder71]

Wow, for $15 on clearance, this would be awesome. Someone mentioned you could make it relatively infant proof with some velcro around the edges. Have to check it out!

[akathatoneguy]

My brother and I saw them at a Target in Davenport, IA for $14.98, but the clearance sign said $41.98. Every tag on each ottoman said $14.98, though. We took them up to the register and it rang up for the cheaper price! The next day, all six or seven that were left were gone.

I agree with ivan, they are of good quality and a great place to store all the controllers, cords, etc. I have. I even use the lower storage level for my portable systems so they're not just sitting on the bookshelf, like usual. My wife was quite pleased.

[xrickyb86x]

I've been looking for a clearance price on these for a while. I'll stop by my target today.

[kylerg]

Where in the store would they be located?

[Felder71]

Where in the store would they be located?

I think someone mentioned the furniture section.

[jaydepps]

These seem pretty cool, would definitely pick up if it was $15.00

[MasterSprtn117]

I would definitely get this if I can find it for $15.

[gr8asianman]

Found a brown one @ $14.98 + tax. Thanks OP!

[McNutsack]

Ok, umm, important question no ones asked:
How COMFORTABLE are they to sit on? Do they feel like they'll collapse? I weigh 190.

I'd probably be using mine as the gaming chair, since there's no room in my closet. Plus I have a rotating tower that stores 700 games , and my accessories are in my entertainment center drawers.

[vacuuum]

Great idea, this would look hot with my Sammy ToC lol
Would definitely look for it @ $15 though since I'm broke >.<

[dfg]

I remember seeing these months ago, and if I recall correctly, the labeling says it's not intended to be used as a seat. So if it collapses on ya, ya might be SOL.

[fatez]

they are actually comfy and will work fine to sit on, it will not likely collapse. as long as u sit on it. standing on top of it on the other hand... might not be a good idea.

[McNutsack]

I remember seeing these months ago, and if I recall correctly, the labeling says it's not intended to be used as a seat. So if it collapses on ya, ya might be SOL.

That's what I thought.
The whole "use it as a rock band seat" thing is very out of place, IMO.
I know ottomans can sometims be a seat, or sometimes JUST a footstool.

I personally cant think of a use for something that you have to keep out in the middle of a room just to store 32 games. It's dimensions are the same as my 700 dvd tower, but not as high obviously.

Where do you guys put these? In the closet or what? Or do you use them to rest your feet on while you sit on a bed or chair? lol.

I'm still slightly interested, just need to find the perfect use for it.

[fatez]

it works fine as a chair or seat... just try it out yourself if u see one in the store. it is fine as a leg rest also under the computer desk or placed at the bed end or side. it will serve it's purpose if there is desire for it.

[SkeletonBrute]

My wife called me from target a few weeks back and asked if we should get these, they were 69.99 at the time, so I said pass, when they get below 25 each, I'll bite.

[Saix_XIII]

I went to my Target and did a price check. showed up for $40...wtf?

[rolliauctions]

Target store in Grand Chute, WI had 3 still available for $14.XX this afternoon. The quality seemed kind of cheap so I passed.

[McNutsack]

The quality is OK. It does say you can NOT sit on it, so I'll take THEIR word for it.
I couldnt open it up, because it has a stupid thing wrapped around it.
It was $39.99 at my Target as well, which = huge pass.
I even carried that awkward thing around and did a price check, lol.

My city NEVER has these good deals. Redlands, California.

There was 8 brown left, and maybe 9 red. I think that if they dont sell well in a week maybe the price will lower? Oh well.

[Vlad Impaler7]

I really like the look and idea of these. My girlfriend does too.
The brown one matches our couch/love seat almost exactly.
It'd be nice to have all of the cords and accessories out of
sight when not being used.

Unfortunately they are still $39.99 at my local Target(Springfield, IL).
So I'll be waiting and checking Target once a week or so to see
if they go down to the clearance price here.

[Redeema]

I've got a corner where this would fit perfectly. Plus, it would (hopefully) keep me from leaving my controllers on the floor and the couch where they tend to get dropped and/or sat upon. That all said, they'd be more perfect if the price was right.

Does the plastic tray inside seem sturdy enough to last long for holding controllers and stuff, or does it seem like it'll only last a while?

[noodlez]

Went today with hopes of tidying up my gaming area but...

Sadly they were still $40 :cry:

Target changes prices on Mondays?? If so I will check back next week

[hagaf22]

yeah i got them when they first went on clearance, great deal and they work good for storage, my wife loves it more than me, lol

[MCalvert1]

I took a look at the Taget in Cockeysville, MD and couldn't find them at all. Found ottomans, and gaming chairs, but not this product. I'll try another one today if I find time.

MjC

[rothgar24]

Full price for me in West Sacramento, CA. I was hoping for a $15 find.

[lukejskywalker]

Still full price in Omaha, NE as well

[Zeeman]

39.99 Yuba City, CA. Can someone confirm Target changes prices on Monday?

[lukejskywalker]

Furniture might not be Mondays....can someone confirm?

[fatez]

target change prices for electronics on monday but i am not sure when they change furniture prices.

[xrickyb86x]

Where do you guys put these? In the closet or what? Or do you use them to rest your feet on while you sit on a bed or chair? lol.


I'm guessing you don't have a long legs? I'm constantly resting my feet on the coffee table and that shit can get really uncomfortable.

[dubbfoolio]

Can't sit on it???? That pretty much guarantees one of my friends will break it and all of it's contents

[fujishig]

Are other ottomans on sale at Target too? Seems like this is just a regular ottoman with some custom plastic in it, right?

[CocheseUGA]

I want to say furniture is a Thursday.

[paddlefoot]

I really like the look and idea of these. My girlfriend does too.

I am in the same boat, but only with the red one. I bought one for $40 yesterday. I am always misplacing remote controls, controllers, and cases. This is a perfect fit. Hopefully I can find one for $14.98 and do a return/rebuy.

[equax]

Can't sit on it???? That pretty much guarantees one of my friends will break it and all of it's contents

Haha, I had the same idea that my friends would break it. For 15 bucks I would grab one or two.

[cplater]

I had my wife check the West Livonia Target (on Haggerty Rd.) and they scanned at $39.99. I'll probably check again tomorrow night to see if they've been marked down.

[amusedtoe]

Hmm, that doesn't bode well for me checking the target near where I have some errands to run tomorrow. If something's high at one store in southeast Michigan it's usually high at all of them in my experience. $15 would be perfect since I currently have my 360 in a stack on the floor.

Earlier in this thread someone suggested that Target marks down furniture on Thursday, so I plan on checking the other 2 Targets in the area tonight. I'll post if they're marked down.

[CocheseUGA]

Thursday is what I gathered from reading about the markdown schedule on another website, from awhile back. I'll be checking today, but I dunno.

[cwalker3]

I took a look at the Taget in Cockeysville, MD and couldn't find them at all. Found ottomans, and gaming chairs, but not this product. I'll try another one today if I find time.

MjC
There are three in Columbia at $14.98.

They are 'ok'. It depends what your gaming area is like. I have a nice fancy pants room, and they wouldn't go with the room at all.

In terms of sitting on them, if you like sitting on milk crates, it might work out for you. I sat on it at the store and it didn't break...

[dirtybacon]

I checked the Cuty Ave store in Philly last night, and it was $40 (they had like 10 brown ones).

I did sit on it, and found it very sturdy. I would definitely use it to sit on if I bought one... but am looking for that deep discount price first.

[mkelehan]

There are three in Columbia at $14.98.

Long Gate or Dobbin?

[lukejskywalker]

Still 39.99 today in Omaha, NE

[cwalker3]

Long Gate or Dobbin?
Dobbin.

[MCalvert1]

Dobbin.

Thanks for the heads up. I might be passing through that way tomorrow night.

MjC

[MCalvert1]

Found 'em at the Bel Air, MD Target in the isle with the gaming chairs. No clearance though. $39.99

MjC

[amusedtoe]

Didn't have any by me. :(

[reicaden]

I LOVE THIS POST! THANK YOU FATEZ! THANK YOU!

Scored one today for 14.98! Had to argue with the manager cause... get this... the PRICE SCANNER came out at 14.98, but the REGISTER came up at 39.99...

Made no sense to me, i went back and double checked the scanner, sure enough 14.98.

I told the cashier who basically told me i was lieing, so i asked if a manager could come double check. The manager took me to the shelf and said "theres the tag, 39.99" so I nicely asked "Could you come over with me to the price scanner?" and when I scanned it, she was like "WHAAA?" freaked out. Even her TeslaInventory gun came out at 39.99, I dont get it myself.

When she started the "that machine must be malfunctioning" routine, i quickly spit out "my buddy bought one yesterday at a diff target for 14.98, its the reason I came over to check this target near me, he said it was a good deal, so I guess its a regional clearance, since its .98 cents at the end"

She stared at me in shock, and gave me the price without a word... while i smiled at the cashier who basically called me a liar.

Thank you again fatez, matches perfectly! :)

[kylerg]

Mine had a TON of these things..all at $40. :(

[y2jedi]

Mine had a TON of these things..all at $40. :(

Same here in Louisville.

[cplater]

Same here in Louisville.
Is it possible that they have to sell through so many (i.e. only X number left in stock,) to trigger the clearance price? I've checked 2 of the local targets (Livonia and Farmington,) over the last two days, and they both had them at $39.99 (checked at the price check scanners.) I really want one of these, but I'm willing to wait until they drop to $14.99/

[mickeyp]

mine had it for 39.99, bought it hope it goes down in price though and I wll do a return and rebuy.

[magilacudy]

They had one left at Edison, NJ Target. It is red, and ugly as a mofo.

I did see this:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41NEdmeWmhL._AA260_.jpg

http://www.target.com/Kids-Storage-Ottoman-Navy/dp/B001AWVRT0/sr=1-3/qid=1232736299/ref=sr_1_3/192-1159787-5264242?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Akid%20ottoman&page=1

Which is slightly smaller but the same price, and actually somewhat nice looking.

Oh yeah, as a heads up, there were 3 "Boompod" rocker chairs left at $29.99. I picked up the Boom chair, which looks like a Recaro seat with a subwoofer in it for $28. Looks to be kind of damaged now that I opened it though. :/

[cwalker3]

The Columbia Target (Dobbin) is all out now.

[jgrech10]

Can anyone who got it for $14.98 post their receipt? This might help some of us to get some of our local stores to match the price.

[lukejskywalker]

I never had any luck doing that. Is there something you do to convince them to do this for you?

[sail0rm00n]

Target doesn't price match so huge YMMV if you can get them to do that.

[Nirron]

Bleh, both Targets by me had them at full price, though one did have the Shark gamer chair which I picked up. Guess I'll give it another week and hope it shows up. I could use some more game/accessories storage.

[aaronandjenni]

Ah crap. I went out and bought two of these for 40 each. I hadn't checked this thread since the initial post and didn't know about the clearance. They are really nice however. They're very sturdy and can hold a decent amount of stuff. Plus for me they match my couch exactly. Hopefully they'll drop here in fort wayne and I'll be able to do a return rebuy.

[bones56]

Yeah they won't price match, and all Target's discount products differently. I have 2 near me and they vary with prices greatly. I checked one of them and they have 13 of these ottoman's at 39.99, I will be checking every week until they drop again.

[cplater]

I checked the Livonia, MI and Farmington, MI stores yesterday, and they were both stilla t $39.99. I'll be checking back weekly to see if they drop in price.

[sgaldis]

Mine still has it at $39.99...and, as a result, they still have a big pile of them sitting around. Gonna wait them out for $14.xx.

[smoger]

went to 2 different targets over the past week looking for these..

one target had them for 39.99, and the other had none in stock, but i saw a clearance tag on the shelf where they would have been.

The Livonia, MI store had a similar configuration, but they were still $39.99. It looked to me like they were getting ready to put them on clearance in the near future.

[Vlad Impaler7]

The last time I checked at my Target (Springfield, IL) they had these in two places.
In the aisle by the video game chairs where they normally would be
and also on an endcap a couple of aisles away with a big $39.99 price sign above them.

Maybe they're getting ready for the price change and want them to be more visible. (crosses fingers)

[cplater]

For what it's worth, the Red version now shows up for $39.99 on the website. The Brown version is still listed at $59.99.

[Gspoon]

$15 isn't a bad price if you can find one.

the "Wood Frame" is MDF or Particle Board.

Microfiber AKA Polyester normally holds up really good.

I will have to give them a look tomorrow.

thanks for the heads up

[salty tbone]

All the Targets I've checked in SE PA have them at $39.99 regular price. No clearance stickers. I'd actually prefer the round, non-gaming ottomans Target sells for 24.99 (no trays, but you could still use if for storage). They're microfiber and come in beige and a darker olive, I think.

[McNutsack]

Well, I got a brown one. It was $39.99

My Target had 5 Red ones left, and only ONE brown. The brown had that little picture/cover taken off of it though. I assume someone wanted to look inside, which is only natural.

I didnt wanna pay so much, but I figured there is NO WAY my Target will have a clearance on them. I already waited 9 days. If there was only one brown left, clearly they didnt have any in the back room either, or they wouldve restocked.

With that said, I love it.
I put 34 games in it already.
4 controllers, 4 mics, a text pad, 4 memory cards, 2 plug-n-play chargers for 360, and the xbox webcam. I also put 10 rechargeable batteries in there, by the memory cards in the small slot. They fit nicely.

I use it as a footrest as well =)

My ONE COMPLAINT?
The upper plastic bin or whatever. It should be a bit wider. Right now it can sometimes slip off the 4 pegs (pegs, like a wood shelf would have to keep the shelf from falling off) and it can get annoying. Basically if you lift the upper plastic out, when you put it back in you have to make sure you center it very well, otherwise one corner of the plastic might slip down. It wont cause any harm, but for me it might make my memory cards flop around or a corn unravel, lol. It just seems dumb that they didnt make it wider so it would fit in there real snug.

[lukejskywalker]

I wish they would start marking these on clearance. Anyone else have any luck in the midwest?

[sprintfinanceguy]

^ not yet, but there are tons at all my local stores. They will be clearancing soon enough. I would bite at $20 or less.

[worshipsf]

At one of my Targets, they were out of stock but by punching in the codes, I saw that the brown one was on clearance for $14.98 but the red one was still $39.99

Anyone know if it's easy to get Target to price adjust if I buy it now and the price drops?

[cplater]

My wife checked at the West Livonia, MI store last night, and they were still $39.99.

[tubby34]

Can someone post a reciept for it at the clearance price. My target just might price match, a manager I spoke to today said he wants proof.

[McNutsack]

Honestly, it's worth that $39.99

It fits more stuff than you'd imagine.
I use it to put my plate and drinks on. Rest my feet on while I sit on bed.
My friends sit on the floor and eat off it as well.
Sitting on it or leaning against it feels nice too.
And the biggest perk is it's the perfect rock band drum seat.

It'll suck if you miss your chance to purchase it because you're assuming it'll go on clearance. It wont at every store.

[greyzieoriental]

I been looking for an ottoman, looks like i'll be heading to target tomorrow.

[williamspam91]

only 34 games?
psh

[geosooner]

those are frickin neat. i am gonna go get one today. i saw the gaming chairs on clearance but i didnt see this...website says they have some....hmmmmmm

[Nirron]

Hm, Brown one just changed to Limited Availability at my closest Target. Usually Limited Availability = clearanced in my endeavors, so hopefully i can pick one up.

[tubby34]

any luck with a reciept?

[greyzieoriental]

still $39.99 at my target
at $15 i'll take it but at $40, I'm not so sure

[geosooner]

I got one at 40. They're neato.

[pwnthee]

psh...this gets listed in "deals" but Ebay Buy It Now items with several available don't?

A good deal on a video game, regardless of where it's listed > cheap plastic furniture/case junk to store games.

We should have a member vote on this matter.


I keep my games in bankers boxes, which I got free from work. Then a few games sit on my entertainment center with the video game consoles. So, I just saved $15 or whatever by not buying one of these. Thanks CAG!

I believe members already voted by posting their interest as well as saying they went looking for it. Just because there isn't a poll and this isn't for an actual game (guess we can't post about controllers, memory, consoles either, huh?) doesn't mean it's not for gamers. I for one was very interested in this but was and still am unable to find it at my local Target for $14.99.

[HDTVDinner]

Picked one of these up last week for $39.99 well worth it.

[pwnthee]

Nah I'm fine with this deal being listed. My point was if THIS deal is allowed, a more important deal, like on a good game, should be allowed, regardless of source.

I mean an official vote should be taken on whether or not we can list Ebay Buy It Now/Store items of mass-ish quantity. What would it hurt if we allowed Buy It Now listings of 10 items or more available at time of posting to be posted in Deals, which everybody checks, instead of auctions, which nobody checks?

There could be restrictions like it has to be at least x % off retail, only for next gen games & accessories (way higher demand), etc so the Deals board doesn't get overrun with it. And if it's the Ebay/Amazon seller himself posting, maybe say they have to have a seller feedback score of x (say a minimum of 100, 200, or whatever number of seller transactions completed).

It makes MUCH more sense to have a separate YMMV forum than online Buy It Now or Amazon Marketplace, etc listings. YMMV listings are 100% useless to 99.99% of us, yet I'd say it accounts for a minimum of 1/3 of the topics posted in Deals.

And if it's the Ebay/Amazon seller himself posting, maybe say they have to have a seller feedback score of x (say a minimum of 100, 200, or whatever number of seller transactions completed).

It makes MUCH more sense to have a separate YMMV forum than online Buy It Now or Amazon Marketplace, etc listings. YMMV listings are 100% useless to 99.99% of us, yet I'd say it accounts for a minimum of 1/3 of the topics posted in Deals.

Not our problem. This isn't a YMMV deal - the price in the OP is the nationwide price. The clearance is the YMMV part, which is also being discussed in the Target Clearance Thread.

[Alakhira]

Just picked one up and am thoroughly happy with it. Pricewise it wasn't labeled correctly but scanned just fine. Thanks much for the tip!

[vlv723]

There are lots at the Antioch, TN location. I checked it out and it's what I'm looking for. I'll pick one up once I move into my new place next weekend.

They have some leather ones that are on sale this week til saturday.

I bought a round one for $37+tax reg price $59.99, it's dimensions are 15"H 20"diameter, here's some pics, I can probably fit the same amount of stuff in this one as well.

They also have a long rectangle one for $59 reg price $79.99, about twice the size of the gaming ottoman, and opens up like a treasure chest, plenty of storage but not as portable if you really want to use it as an ottoman

also both the leather ones are made pretty nicely, they are comfortable to sit on, much more padded than the gaming one, and yes I sat on them all at the store.
I didn't like the material that the gaming ottoman was made of, but if I found it for $15 I might have picked it up. It was $40 still at the 2 targets I went to.
They also have a round one about the same height as the gaming ottoman for $25, seems like the same material as the gaming ottoman too.

Brown circular autaman (sp?) snip.

That is so ugly.

I'd totally nab one of these suckas if I wasn't broke, I need a foot rest.

[crunchewy]

The 2nd picture makes it look better, though. Is the color actually darker like the 2nd picture, or lighter like the first picture? If it's like the 2nd picture, I might have to pick up one of those round ones.

[lukejskywalker]

Any new clearance market

[bones56]

At my target they had 13 now they are down to 4. They are selling like hot cakes at 39.99, I can't see spending that for this, hopefully monday they will get a price cut. (Levittown NY)

This is what I was wondering earlier. I can't find the gaming ottoman for less than 39.99. So what do I really lose out on if I go with another ottoman (for instance, they have the non-gaming ottoman's that look pretty much the same for 20 bucks... tons of them). Storage space is the same, it's just a plastic tray, right? Or is there something else to the gaming one?

[cruzincontrol]

Hm, Brown one just changed to Limited Availability at my closest Target. Usually Limited Availability = clearanced in my endeavors, so hopefully i can pick one up.

Can anyone else confirm this theory, because there's a couple of stores that say AVAILABLE and one that says LIMITED AVAILABILITY (but is a farther distance), before I make the longer trip want to know if it will definently be on clearance.

[MC Hampster]

All I can say is that I went to two Targets near me that listed as "Available" and they were not at clearance at either of those Targets. I'll have to look again to see if I can find one with "Limited Availability" and try it out though.

[Nirron]

Can anyone else confirm this theory, because there's a couple of stores that say AVAILABLE and one that says LIMITED AVAILABILITY (but is a farther distance), before I make the longer trip want to know if it will definently be on clearance.

Well, I'd chaulk it up to dumb luck on my part moreso than a theory. It kind of made sense in my head, since they were putting them on clearance then they wouldn't have many in stock, or be letting the stock get 'limited'. And it was mainly because I have *never* found a clearance item where it was listed as Available on the site, so call it more of a conspiracy theory than anything concrete.

On a side note, that theory has only worked 3 out of 4 times for me. The exception was indeed the gaming ottoman, as it did ring up $39.99 (the brown one). I'd say it was more coincidence on my part than what they really do.

[KurtCobain]

I checked two stores that had it listed as limited, but neither of them had it for less than $40.

[tubtub]

I think limited availability just means they have less than 3 in stock. All my stores that say they have 2 or less ring up $39.99.

[ctrek3]

That's what I thought of them at $60. But at $15, me and the Gf have a place for my controllers and games (360+scene it/ps3/wii), DVDs, television remotes and other random entertainment crap. It is a much better look having them all put away, and the hassle for me is minimal.

I completely agree. this will make the wife happy, and keep the controllers away from the new dog. but not at $60.

[TypeSH]

bristol, huh? the target by neshaminy mall has these for $40. at least, this weekend they did.

still too much for me, though.

[metallicoholic]

I could use something like this. I'm always at Target so I'll be sure to look for these next time I'm there. If I find one for less than $40, I don't care what color it is. It's good to know something like this exists out there.

[ctrek3]

fellow Pennsylvanian! thanks for the heads up, i was going to check oxford valley once i get outta work since it's across the street from me right now! might be a good chance then at the neshaminy store too as target does their clearance on Mondays if iirc.

Edit: Target at oxford valley still has them at 39.99.

[Rictor]

I might bite if I see them for $15 on clearance, although I have a huge leather trunk for most of my controllers, which doubles as a bench seat or coffee table. Target sells smaller storage ottoman trunks for around $79, I believe. Mine is about twice the size as those and made with actual leather...$300 on Overstock a few years back...and that was with a steep discount. I would have went with 2 of the cheap Target ones instead but they didn't exist back then.

Storage space is the same, it's just a plastic tray, right? Or is there something else to the gaming one?

I would go to the store and compare it, for $40 it wasn't worth it to me especially the material it was made of. Basically you lose the trays that weren't that nice IMO and doesn't hold everything that I would want.

[lukejskywalker]

Any new clearance seen by anyone on the ottoman?

[ets]

nope, but i have noticed that the 8-9 on the end cap has dwindled down to 3... so at $40 their selling.

[omyard]

I didn't see these at my local Target, but I did see some basic, round ottoman's for $18.50 (normally $25) and grabbed those. $37 for 2 beats 1 for $39. I can skip on plastic trays if it means saving $40.

Threw all my Xbox, PS3 and 360 controllers in one and Wii stuff in another. No need to put games in there since I have too many and I have racks.

Just found them on Target's site: http://www.target.com/Microfiber-Storage-Ottoman-Tan/dp/B0012M8A98/sr=1-15/qid=1234202811/ref=sr_1_15/183-7295512-1071945?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3Astorage%20ottoman&page=1

[Quadriflax]

Hey all... I've been waiting for this to drop in my area as well, but my brother works at a Target and said that if it's at $40, don't expect a drop any time soon. Apparently the stores that dropped to $15 were up at $60, so if your store is stuck at $40 like all the Targets in my area, it could be a while before you see it go to clearance, if ever.

As always, it's YMMV, but based on this I gave up waiting and just purchased a similar looking one without the plastic trays (and is a little smaller) for $20 normal price. All I need is a place to keep my controllers tucked away, so no real loss.

[Esoteria]

This seems really handy, but at $40 it seems just a tad too high. I'd easily pay $30 for one over an equivalent for $20 with no trays, just because the trays will mean your 30-some games don't fall over when you remove one.

Regarding not being able to sit on them, the warning is most likely a disclaimer. These things are usually MDF or particle board (as someone else mentioned) which should be PLENTY sturdy for anyone not abusing the thing and who is not overweight. Still, I definitely wouldn't stand or jump on them given the value of what would be inside.

Also, if you've got a circular or table saw you can always supplement the top with an extra layer of basic particle board or MDF. MDF is very heavy but it does not take to water or excessive moisture well at all, but it looks better than particle board. At any rate it wouldn't take much effort at all to add some extra support if you were to buy one and find that you or someone else wanted to sit or stand on it regularly.

I'm in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area of North Carolina, and I'm going to check my closest Target. If they're on clearance it's a definite buy. If not I'll be playing it by ear.

[lukejskywalker]

I agreee $40 is a bit high. If they sit for a while they will eventually clearance out, but just how long is anyone's guess.

[randomevent]

I've only seen them for $40 as well. I'm holding out. If it drops, great. If it doesn't and I miss them, oh well.

[addicted2games]

I'm holding out for a price drop too, but now my Targets only have the red one in stock. I want the brown one!

[jalopez86]

i've been waiting for a price drop since last month. 20$ is as high as i'd pay.

[tubby34]

Mine have stayed the same. I went as far as taking the stock floor upc from a fort myers target and whenever i pop into a target i scan it just to see if its 15. 39.99 consistantly. Maybe about 12 stores ive been to. GOD DAMN MIGHTY MUGGS, PS3 Spiderman WOS and Ottoman. Come down to 15 already. And with the muggs, please just get captain america in. I should have never passed his ass up.

[lukejskywalker]

Has anyone seen this ottoman for less than $40?

[kylerg]

I'll have to check again, but they were always $40

[pvtpyle]

My targets have put these on clearance to like $34, but I can only find red

[Redeema]

I bought one on Sunday in red for a clearance price of $27.98 I really like it and it holds a lot of stuff. Looking for a more neutral color if I can find one. Checking other Target's in nearby cities.

Typed in the DCPI at the Wilsonville, OR store, even though they didn't have any, but it came up with the price of $27.98. I would do $20 at the most for one of these. Maybe some others in the area are cheaper now...

[Rictor]

Only saw these at once store...they were $40. Doubt if they have any left but now...that was a couple months back and they only had two. Never seen them on clearance...rest of the stores around here sold out or clearanced them and I didn't notice.

[jamesesdad]

I bought one of thse for 40 about 2 months ago. They are great if you have lots of controllers, accessories and games. I still don't regret paying that price for it as I have gotten lots of use out of it. If you need extra storage for games and controllers, and would like to have it double as extra seating than this would be a good investment.

[bones56]

yeah i never saw them lower than 39.99. I never did buy one, i wonder if target.com still has them. my Targets sold them all for that price, I was holding out for lower.


edit

Red= 39.99

Brown= 59.99

[deletion]

picked the red one just this week for 19.99, saw only two so thought i'd jump on it. lots of room to hide games and not too bad to sit on.

[ferant316]

Anyone know anything about this being recalled? I went to two stores now that are listed as Limited Availability looking for the brown one, and both stores now have said they're out back and can't currently be sold. If it was one store I'd chock it up to a stupid employee, but getting almost identical answers from two stores 25 miles apart seems odd.

[pvtpyle]

I picked up a brown one this weekend for $27. I've seen some red ones around at the same price (Phoenix area)

thats how i felt too but it was the last one they had, and i had been checking for weeks, it didn't even have the barcode anymore so it took a few minutes for them to look it up, i figured i'd rather pay a few dollars more, then miss out on it entirely.
