Using your Lindy Dark Brown Ottoman is easy. Just place it where you need extra seating or a footrest. It's great for your living room, bedroom, or study. When it comes to assembly, make sure to follow the instructions carefully as it's required. As for maintenance, always wipe up spills immediately to prevent stains. Dust it regularly to keep it looking its best. You can clean it with mild soap and water, but remember to dry it thoroughly. And whatever you do, don't use a brass cleaner on it. Also, be aware that the ottoman has wood dust which is related to cancer, so try to keep it in a well - ventilated area.
