Using this ottoman is a breeze. Simply place it in your living room where you'd like extra seating or a footrest. You can use it alone or pair it with other modular furniture for a custom look. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove dust regularly. For spills, quickly blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the chenille fabric. If the ottoman gets wet, let it dry naturally in a well - ventilated area. Periodically check the wooden legs for any signs of looseness and tighten the screws if needed. With proper care, this ottoman will stay in great shape for years to come.
