Using your Christopher Knight Home® Drake Ottoman Set is a breeze. First, since it arrives pre - assembled, you can start using it right away. For seating, you can use the large bench or the two smaller cubes. You can have guests sit on them, or just use them to put your feet up after a long day. To store items, simply lift the top of the large ottoman bench and place things like board games, remotes, or magazines inside. When you're not using the smaller cubes, tuck them neatly inside the larger ottoman to save space. If you want to use the ottoman as a coffee table, just flip the top over to reveal the tray. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the fabric regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they might damage the high - quality fabric. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately to prevent stains. Keep the ottoman away from direct sunlight to avoid fading of the fabric. And that's it! With these simple steps, you can enjoy your ottoman set for a long time.
