Do ottoman beds break easily?

Buying a new bed for our new house and desperately need all the storage I can get and so I was going to go for an ottoman bed with under bed storage but my mum says everyone she knows has had their ottoman bed break (including her own).

Do ottoman beds break easily/quickly?

YABU - yes they break easily
YANBU - no they don't break easily

We have two main brand ottoman beds - one end lift, and one side lift - and have never had any problems - they are both great!

Had mine almost 3 years and going strong with lovely storage space.

Had one 20 years and another 4 years. No problems. Not sure how they would break?

Had ours 8 years and never had a problem with it. Best thing we bought as we are so short on storage

I’ve got this one. Delivery and service was excellent. It was a 2 man delivery and they assembled it in situ.

I think it probably depends on the brand you buy and your budget. I have an amazing one from Sueno and it’s in as good a shape as it was when I bought it 5 years ago.

Mine has been fine for two years so far

Not in my experience. I've four. Had them for years and never had any problem. The cheapest one was from Next and that's one has been ok too. There is a big difference in quality between cheaper and more expensive ones.

I like ones with extra deep bases.

Yes they break easily
