Using your Christopher Knight Home® Grey Upholstered Ottoman is a breeze. You can place it in your living room, bedroom, or any other space where you need extra seating or a footrest. Simply pull it in front of your sofa or chair and relax your feet or sit on it. When it comes to assembly, follow the clear instructions that come with the ottoman. Use the included hardware and it should take you about 10 minutes to put it together. As for maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. For stains, use a mild detergent and a damp cloth, but make sure to dry it thoroughly. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the fabric. Also, don't exceed the 250 - lb weight limit to keep the frame in good condition.
