Using this Christopher Knight Home® Bordeaux Plush Fabric Ottoman is a breeze. You can place it in your living room, bedroom, or den. Sit on it when you want to relax, or use it as a coffee table to place your drinks and snacks. For assembly, it's a light task. Just follow the included instructions, and you'll have it set up in no time. When it comes to maintenance, spot - clean the fabric with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the 100% polyester fabric. Also, try to keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
