Benches and Ottoman
At Samz Design, we build benches and ottomans in solid teak, powder-coated aluminium, rattan and custom upholstery, made to order in our Shah Alam workshop. Some are made to seat, some to rest your feet, some to hide clutter inside, and some to do all three. Whether it is one piece for a living room or a matched run for a hotel lobby, we build it to fit your space and hold up to real use.

Bench or Ottoman: What Is the Difference, and Which Do You Need?
A bench is a long, hard-topped seat with no back, best for the end of a bed, an entryway, or extra dining and living-room seating. An ottoman is a soft, upholstered piece used as a footrest, an occasional seat, or a coffee-table alternative, and it often opens up for storage. Choose a bench when you want firm seating and a clean line. Choose an ottoman when you want comfort, a footrest, or hidden storage.
Plenty of Malaysian homes end up needing both: a bench at the door for shoes and bags, and an ottoman in the living room for feet, guests and the throw blankets that need somewhere to live. Because we build to order, you can have them made in a matching material and finish so they read as a set rather than two random buys.
Our Benches and Ottomans
Samz Aluminium Powder Coated Outdoor Backless Bench
Our signature bench pairs a powder-coated aluminium frame with a UV-resistant woven rope seat, built to survive sun, rain and daily use. It suits hotels, resorts, poolsides, patios, gardens, cafes and restaurants, as well as luxury residential outdoor spaces, and its backless design tucks neatly under a table or against a wall when not in use. The aluminium frame is fabricated in-house at our Shah Alam workshop, so the weld quality and finish are ours from start to finish. See it in the wider powder-coated aluminium furniture range.
Want a different look? We build benches and ottomans in solid teak for a warm indoor feel, in rattan and wicker for a tropical touch, and in fully upholstered finishes with storage inside. Tell us the size, material and whether you want storage, and we build it your way.

Where a Bench or Ottoman Earns Its Place
At the entryway, a bench gives you somewhere to sit while dealing with shoes, and pairs neatly with a shoe rack or console table. At the end of a bed, it holds clothes, bags and the extra pillows that come off at night. In the living room, an upholstered storage ottoman works as a footrest, an extra seat, and a soft-topped coffee table all at once, which is exactly the kind of multi-tasking a compact condo needs.
For businesses, benches and ottomans are workhorses: lobby and reception seating, waiting areas, retail fitting-room benches, restaurant bench seating, and poolside or garden benches for hotels and resorts. For project quantities and matched finishes across a venue, our B2B solutions service handles the order.
How to Choose the Right Bench or Ottoman
Three quick decisions get you to the right piece. First, seat or storage: if you mainly need somewhere to sit, a firm bench wins; if you want to hide clutter, an upholstered storage ottoman is better. Second, indoor or outdoor: for exposed patios and poolsides, powder-coated aluminium with rope or an outdoor-grade fabric lasts longest; for indoors, teak or upholstery suits better. Third, size: an entryway bench around 90 to 120 cm fits most Malaysian hallways, while a living-room ottoman is usually sized to sit comfortably in front of your sofa without blocking the walkway.
Benches and Ottomans FAQs
What is the difference between an ottoman and a bench?
A bench is a long, firm seat with no back, good for entryways, the end of a bed, or extra seating. An ottoman is a soft, upholstered piece used as a footrest, an occasional seat, or a coffee-table alternative, and it often has storage inside. Benches suit firm seating and clean lines; ottomans suit comfort and hidden storage.
Can an ottoman be used as a coffee table?
Yes, an upholstered ottoman works well as a soft coffee table, especially with a firm top or a tray placed on it for drinks. It is a popular choice in Malaysian condos because it doubles as a footrest and extra seating too, doing the work of three pieces in one footprint. We can build the top firm enough to hold a tray steady.
Do your benches and ottomans have storage?
Upholstered ottomans can be built with a lift-up top and storage inside, ideal for blankets, remotes and clutter. Hard-topped benches can also be made with storage underneath. Tell us at the custom design stage and we build the storage into the piece.
Which material is best for an outdoor bench in Malaysia?
For fully exposed patios, gardens and poolsides, a powder-coated aluminium frame with a woven rope or outdoor-grade fabric seat lasts best against sun, rain and humidity. Solid teak also handles the outdoors well and ages to a silver-grey patina. We match the material to how exposed the spot actually is.
Can I get a bench and ottoman in matching materials?
Yes. Because we build to order, we can make a bench and an ottoman in the same wood, finish or fabric so they read as a coordinated set. This is a common request for entryway-plus-living-room setups and for hotel projects that need a consistent look.
Do you deliver benches and ottomans across Malaysia?
Yes, nationwide across Malaysia, plus international shipping to Singapore, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UK and the US. Contact us for a delivery quote to your location.
