Using this ottoman is a breeze. Simply place it wherever you need it, like in your living room, bedroom, or office. You can rest your feet on it after a long day or use it as extra seating when you have guests. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they might damage the fabric. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately with a mild soap and water solution. Make sure the ottoman is placed on a flat surface to maintain its stability and protect the felt foot pads on the legs. And always keep in mind the weight capacity of 264 lbs to prevent any damage to the frame.
