Using your ottoman is super easy. You can place it in front of your sofa and use it as a footrest when you're relaxing. Or, pull it up to a coffee table and use it as an extra seat. If you need a small surface for a quick snack or to place a book, it can also act as a makeshift table. As for maintenance, simply use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they might damage the finish. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the color from fading. Since it doesn't require assembly, you can start enjoying it right away when it arrives. But remember, this ottoman is for home use only, not for commercial settings.
