Using your Christopher Knight Home® Abilene Fabric Storage Ottoman is a breeze. First, assemble it according to the instructions that come with it. Once it's set up, you can use it as an extra seat for guests or as a footrest while you're relaxing. To use the storage, simply lift the top of the ottoman and place your items inside. It's great for storing things like blankets, magazines, or toys. When it comes to maintenance, vacuum the fabric regularly to keep it clean. If there are any stains, use a mild fabric cleaner and gently blot the area. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric. Also, try to keep the ottoman away from direct sunlight to prevent the fabric from fading. With proper care, your ottoman will last for a long time and keep looking great in your living space.
