Room×Lab Review · Review updated August 28, 2026

Cilo owners praise a compact, firm footrest and extra seat; two visible side seams and hard-to-clean bouclé are the tradeoffs

Room×Lab read all 199 distinct written owner reviews among the 296 ratings Article shares across the Cilo 16-inch fabric ottomans: 178 five-star, 16 four-star and 5 three-star, with no one- or two-star reviews, dated February 2020 through August 2026. They cover Ivory Bouclé on the current and older listings, Sandstone Wool Bouclé and Welsh Taupe; Cilo leather versions have their own reviews. Few owners describe years of heavy use. The reviews below are all Ivory Bouclé: two three-star complaints, two four-star caveats and two five-star reviews, picked to show the main complaints beside typical praise; most reviews are five-star.

Room×Lab rating: 8.6 out of 10 (medium confidence). Owners praise the Cilo as a compact, firm footrest or extra seat; its 296 ratings across fabric colors average nearly 4.9 stars. Caveats: recurring concerns about two hard-to-hide side seams and hard-to-clean bouclé, an ivory some find beige, isolated rubber-foot failures, and few reports of heavy long-term use.

  • Compact comfort and versatility: 42 favorable size-and-fit mentions; 30 favorable comfort mentions — Counts span all Cilo fabric colors. Owners found the 16-inch size useful in smaller rooms, the padded top comfortable under feet, and the wood-framed body firm enough for occasional seating.
  • Popular finish with visible design caveats: 50 favorable color-or-finish mentions; 13 concerns — Counts span all Cilo fabric colors. The ivory look drew wide approval, but some owners found the two opposing side seams difficult to hide, and a few owners expected a creamier, less beige tone.
  • Generally sturdy, with isolated foot failures: 29 favorable stability mentions; 4 concerns — Counts span all Cilo fabric colors. Owners praise the rigid frame that holds its shape. One three-star owner received it with feet missing, and an owner of the earlier Ivory Bouclé listing had a rubber stopper break on the third day, leaving it wobbly.

Before buying

Choose the Ivory Bouclé Cilo as a compact, firm footrest or occasional seat if you can accept two side seams you cannot both hide and an ivory some owners find beige. Check the rubber feet on arrival, and blot spills rather than scrub.
