Using this ottoman is super easy. You can simply place it in your living room and use it to put your feet up after a tiring day or as extra seating when you have guests over. When it comes to maintenance, it's a good idea to vacuum the fabric regularly to keep it clean. If there are any spills, gently blot them with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the Dorris fabric. Also, try not to place the ottoman in direct sunlight for long periods, as this might fade the light grey color. When moving the ottoman, lift it carefully by the frame to prevent any damage to the wooden legs.
