Using this ottoman is a breeze. You can place it in your living room and use it as a seat when you have guests over or as a footrest while you're relaxing on the couch. It's also great for extra seating during parties. When it comes to maintenance, you can vacuum the corduroy fabric regularly to keep it clean. If there are any spills, quickly blot them with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric. Don't place heavy objects beyond its 300lbs weight capacity on it to ensure its long - term durability. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading.
