Using these ottomans is a breeze. You can place them in your living room as extra seating or in front of your bed as a footrest. For cleaning, simply use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to gently wipe the linen upholstery. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric. To maintain the natural oak finish, occasionally dust it with a dry cloth. If you spill something on the ottomans, clean it up immediately to prevent stains. Also, remember that these ottomans are designed to be purchased in sets of two, so make sure you order the right quantity for your needs.
