Using this ottoman is a breeze. You can place it at the foot of your bed to sit on while you're putting on your shoes, or use it as extra seating in your living room when you have guests. Just make sure to place it on a flat surface to avoid any wobbling. For maintenance, vacuum the boucle fabric regularly to keep it clean. If there are any spills, quickly blot them with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they might damage the fabric. When moving the ottoman, lift it gently instead of dragging to protect the legs and the structure.
