Using your Christopher Knight Home® Detroit Storage Ottoman is a breeze. Simply lift the top to access the storage space inside and place your pillows and blankets neatly. You can use it as a footrest while sitting on your sofa or even as an extra seat if needed. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the leather surface regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the leather. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately to prevent stains. Place the ottoman away from direct sunlight to avoid fading of the leather. With proper care, your ottoman will stay in great condition for years.
