Using this ottoman chair is easy. To convert it from a bench to a chair, just adjust the top according to your seating needs. You can use the interior storage to keep small items like magazines, remote controls, or blankets. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the fabric regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the fabric. Place the chair on a flat surface to ensure its stability and to prevent any wobbling. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them carefully. Also, don't exceed the 300 - lb weight capacity to maintain its durability over time.
