We use an antique trunk - works great as both.

Ottoman will be more comfortable for lounging. You can buy a stylish tray to use it as a coffee table.

Measure first! You want 18 in clearance around, also check the height.

Ouch! No! My mother keeps trying to do this, but those things are not comfortable.

I love that kind of ottoman that has a little semi-attached pillow that is a quarter-turn off center. Sorry, I'm blanking on the name of the style and am too lazy to look it up.
