Using this ottoman is a breeze. Just place it in your living room near your sofa or loveseat. To use the storage, simply slide out the hidden drawer and put in items like magazines, remote controls, or small blankets. When moving it, lift it gently by the sides to avoid any damage to the legs. As for maintenance, wipe the brown bonded leather with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep it looking new. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the leather. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately. Make sure to keep the ottoman away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the leather from fading.
