Whether you live in an apartment or small home, furnishing a tight space is challenging to say the least. You can maximize your home with clever organizers and by taking advantage of wall space, but when you're working with limited square footage, adding multifunctional furniture is the best way to create a comfortable home with tons of unobtrusive storage options.

Amazon is making it easy for you to furnish your small space with an under-the-radar storefront that's filled with convertible furniture. The "Hardworking Furniture" online marketplace offers pieces like ottomans with hidden storage, coffee tables that convert into a desk or dining table, and sofas that turn into sleepers for overnight guests. You can browse all 120 multipurpose furniture options at Amazon, but we rounded up seven of our favorites— starting at just $49.

Songmics Folding Storage Ottoman Bench

$64, AMAZON

This upholstered ottoman does more than just serve as a footrest—it works as a coffee table, a dining bench, and even a storage unit for small living rooms, too. The lift top reveals a storage compartment that has a 120-liter capacity to hold spare throw pillows, blankets, toys, and more. "You would never know it's a fold-up bench," one shopper said.

X-Cosrack Industrial End Table

$49, AMAZON

This three-tier end table includes industrial-style wire storage baskets to stow books, decor, toys, and other items. You can place it next to your couch, bedside, or home office desk—some shoppers even use it as extra pantry space or even as a coffee bar.

GIA Tri-Fold Convertible Sofa Bed Chair

$380 (WAS $450), AMAZON

An armchair that transforms into a sleeper sofa might seem too good to be true, but we found one that's currently on sale for $380. The mid-century modern accent chair has polyester upholstery and is made from high-density foam to ensure your comfort. And there are four positions it can be used in: upright, two levels of reclined, and flat for sleeping.

Wlive Lift Top Coffee Table with Hidden Compartment

$126 (WAS $150), AMAZON

At first glance, this coffee table might look like nothing more than a typical table. But a large part of the top can lift up and out to produce a high top table so you can eat and work from the couch, while the other part slides open to provide more storage space. You can store books, tech, remotes, snacks, and more in the compartment, and the top closes slowly to protect your fingers.

Winsome Suzanne Three-Piece Space Saver Kitchen

$180 (WAS $275), AMAZON

One of the most genius convertible furniture options on this list is this rolling kitchen cart that's also a drop leaf dining table with two bar stools and two drawers. The stools can be stowed inside of the cart to free up the space in your kitchen, and shoppers call it "perfect for small spaces."

Powell Hammered Gold Drum with Natural Wood Lift Top

$197, AMAZON

This stunning hammered gold drum is not only stylish, but it's also functional thanks to the lift-top storage compartment. You can use it as a coffee or accent table and store extra blankets or other items in it. One shopper said it's a "beautiful piece" and wrote that it's "sturdy and has lots of storage space inside."

Atlantic Furniture Concord Platform Bed with Two Drawers

$526, AMAZON

This bed frame comes with two storage drawers to help you utilize the space underneath your bed. It's perfect to store extra towels and bed linens, off-season clothing, and excess toys and books.
