Using your Modrest Erin storage ottoman is a breeze. You can use it as a seat for guests or just to relax on. To access the storage, simply lift the lid and place your items inside, like blankets, magazines, or small toys. When it comes to maintenance, make sure to wipe it clean with a dry cloth regularly. Avoid using strong liquid cleaners as they might damage the fabric. Don't overload the ottoman beyond its 200 lbs weight capacity to keep the frame and upholstery in good condition. And since it's fully assembled, you can start using it right away without any hassle.
