Using this ottoman is a breeze. For storage, simply lift the top and place your items inside the storage area. You can use the four trays to hold drinks, snacks, or small decorative items when you're entertaining guests or just relaxing. As a coffee table, it provides a stable surface for your daily needs. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the bonded leather regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the leather. Also, try to keep the ottoman away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately to avoid stains.
