Using this ottoman is a breeze. You can place it in your living room, bedroom, or any other cozy spot. Use it as a footrest when you're relaxing on the couch, or pull it up as extra seating when you have guests. If you need a small side table, it can serve that purpose too. When it comes to cleaning, gently vacuum the upholstery regularly to keep it free of dust. For spills, quickly blot the area with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the fabric as it might damage the smooth texture. As for the birch wood legs, wipe them down with a dry cloth every now and then to maintain their shine. Don't place the ottoman in direct sunlight for long periods, as this could fade the navy blue fabric and affect the wood's quality. With these simple steps, your ottoman will stay in great shape for years to come.
