Using your Marina Teak Wood Outdoor Patio Ottoman is easy. First, assemble it following the instructions provided. Then, place it on your outdoor patio where you'd like to relax. You can sit on it, put your feet up, or even use it as a side table if needed. When it comes to maintenance, clean the teak wood regularly with a mild soap and water solution to keep it looking great. The cushions are water and UV resistant, but it's a good idea to bring them indoors during extreme weather. Their covers are machine washable, so you can keep them fresh and clean. Remember, since it's for outdoor use, try to avoid leaving it in standing water for long periods to prevent any potential damage. Enjoy your new patio ottoman for years to come!
