Using your Homcom Storage Ottoman is a breeze. You can use it as a seating option for guests or as a footrest while you relax on the couch. To access the storage, simply lift the removable lid gently. When it comes to what you can store, you can keep things like blankets, magazines, or even small toys. For safety, don't exceed the weight capacity of 176 lbs. If you move it around, do it carefully to avoid any damage to the rubberwood legs or the non - skid foot pads. To maintain it, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the fabric regularly. If there are any spills, clean them up right away with a mild detergent and water. This will keep your ottoman looking great and functioning well for a long time.
