Using your new ottoman is super easy. You can use it as a seat when you have guests over or as a footrest while you're relaxing on the couch. You can also place small items like magazines or a cup on it. When it comes to assembly, just follow the included instructions. It won't take you long at all. To keep your ottoman in top shape, vacuum the fabric regularly to remove dust. If there are any spills, clean them up right away with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the gray fabric. With proper care, your ottoman will serve you well for years to come.
