Using the Waverly Swivel Ottoman is a breeze. You can simply swivel it around to the position you like. It can be used as extra seating when you have guests over. Just pull it up to your seating area and sit on it comfortably. As a footrest, place it in front of your chair and rest your feet for a relaxing experience. For a decorative accent, position it in a corner or near a sofa to enhance the room's look. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the leather seat regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the leather. For the walnut finish and metal base, a gentle dusting with a microfiber cloth will do the trick. Also, try to keep the ottoman away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the color from fading.
