Using this ottoman is a breeze. You can place it in your living room, bedroom, or any other space as a footrest while you're relaxing on the sofa, or use it as an extra seat when you have guests. If you need a small surface, it can even act as a makeshift table. There's no need to assemble it, so you can start using it right away. When it comes to maintenance, spot - clean the 100% cotton upholstery with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent color fading. Since it's not for commercial use, make sure to use it in a home environment only.
