Using your ottoman is easy. You can place it in your living room as an extra seat for guests or use it as a footrest when you're relaxing on the couch. In the dining area, it can serve as a handy serving stool. To keep it in good condition, vacuum the fabric regularly to remove dust. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the color. Wipe spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Be aware that the product falls under Prop65, so handle it according to the warning label instructions.
