Using the Homcom Ottoman Bench is super easy. Just place it in your entryway and start using it as a spot to sit and take off your shoes. You can put it anywhere in your home where you need a bit of extra seating. For maintenance, vacuum the linen upholstery regularly to keep it clean. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it might fade the cream - white color and the signature print. When assembling, make sure to follow the detailed instructions provided. Also, don't exceed the weight capacity of 330 lbs to ensure the bench's sturdiness and long - lasting use.
