Using this ottoman pouf is a breeze. You can place it in your living room, bedroom, or office as a footrest, extra seating, or a decorative piece. It doesn't need any assembly, so you can start using it right away. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust regularly. If there are stains, you can spot - clean the fabric with a mild detergent and water. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the black fabric. Also, be careful not to put too much weight on it as it has a single - unit weight of 10 lbs and a specific size (15.75W x 15.75D x 16.25H). The floor protector plastic pin gliders help protect your floors, but make sure to check them occasionally for any damage. And remember, the item description might mention features of other variants, so if you have a specific one, keep that in mind.
