Using this ottoman is super easy. Just place it in front of your favorite chair or sofa, and you're all set to rest your feet. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the faux leather surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the material. When moving the ottoman, lift it carefully by the sides to prevent any damage to the tapered feet. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading. With proper care, this ottoman will serve you well for a long time.
