Where to Buy a Reclaimed Wood Ottoman

There are quite a few different places that you can find reclaimed wood, but these are some of the places that we’ve been able to find reclaimed wood ottomans that look great!

Etsy

Etsy is a great place to find handmade, original items that you might not find anywhere else. The other great part about shopping on Etsy is that you’re often supporting small businesses and local shops that wouldn’t otherwise be able to sell their goods in a brick-and-mortar store.

If you do end up choosing a handmade reclaimed wood item, you can be sure that it’s one of a kind!

Wayfair

Wayfair has reclaimed wood ottomans for all styles and budgets. The one thing to keep in mind while you’re looking for an ottoman on Wayfair is that they sometimes aren’t actually made from reclaimed wood, but a synthetic material to imitate the look for less. So, while they do have some beautiful wood ottomans, be sure to take a look and see whether or not it’s truly a reclaimed wood ottoman.

Countryside Amish

Countryside Amish is the real deal when it comes to sustainably sourced reclaimed wood furniture. They have many different reclaimed wood products and some exceptional reclaimed wood ottomans that you can choose from. Do some digging through their website to find some different styles and ideas as you look to make your home more sustainably sourced with the help of reclaimed wood furniture.

DIY Reclaimed Wood Ottoman

If you’re interested in building your own reclaimed wood ottoman, that’s always an option. Here are the steps on how you can do it.

There are a number of plans that you can find for reclaimed wood ottomans throughout the internet. In fact, here are 20 DIY storage ottoman ideas that you can build on your own. After you have the plan that you’ll want to use to build your DIY storage ottoman, then follow these steps to get started.

First, off you’ll need to find reclaimed wood (usually from a reclaimed building or a reclaimed wood dealer that’s already done the work). After you’ve got the wood, you’ll need to cut the reclaimed boards to size. It’s best to do a little bit of math before you start cutting reclaimed boards so that your reclaimed wood ottoman is the right size. The old measure twice (or three times) and cut once is really important. You don’t want to have reclaimed boards leftover at the wrong sizes or bad cuts that send you back to look for more wood.

Once you’ve got the reclaimed wood cut to size, then you’ll need a few nails, wood glue, a screwdriver, and fasteners. You’ll be able to slowly put it all together in less than a few hours. It’s always good to have some experience with woodworking before starting any expensive projects so be careful not to bite off more than you can chew.

Nonetheless, this reclaimed wood ottoman project is really a simple one that you can do in an afternoon. One thing that can make it much harder is if you choose to upholster it.

At Manomin Resawn Timbers, we think it’s important that homeowners know about how reclaimed wood can be used throughout their house. From furniture to floors, planks, or beams, reclaimed wood can truly be a difference-maker in the design and style of a home.
