Using your Convene Outdoor Patio Ottoman is a breeze. You can place it on your patio, backyard, or by the poolside as a comfortable footrest or extra seating. To clean the cushion covers, simply remove them and toss them in the washing machine. For the ottoman frame, wipe it down with a damp cloth regularly. When not in use, you can leave it outside as it's water and UV resistant, but if there are extreme weather conditions like heavy storms, it's a good idea to cover it. Make sure to keep it on a flat surface to prevent it from tipping over. That's all you need to know to enjoy your ottoman for a long time.
