Using this ottoman is a breeze. You can place it in your living room, bedroom, or even in a commercial space. Sit on it when you're relaxing, use it as a footrest while watching TV, or set a drink on it as a makeshift table. Just remember, it can hold up to 250 lbs, so don't overload it. When it comes to maintenance, spot clean it only. There's no need for any assembly, so once you get it, you can start using it right away. And since it's Prop65 - free, you don't have to worry about certain chemical exposures.
