Using your Adirondack ottoman foot rest is super easy. Just place it in your desired indoor or outdoor spot, preferably near your Adirondack chair for a perfect match. Sit back, relax, and rest your feet on it. When it comes to assembly, follow the instructions carefully. You'll be done in 30 minutes or less. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a mild soap and water solution. Since it's UV - treated, it can handle sunlight well, but if you want to extend its lifespan, you can cover it during extreme weather conditions. Also, don't overload it with more than 200 lbs of weight.
