Using this Christopher Knight Home® Hampton Wood & Wicker Outdoor Ottoman is easy. Just place it in your patio or backyard where you want to relax. You can put your feet up on it while sitting on a chair or even use it as an extra seat if needed. When it comes to maintenance, since it's weather - resistant, it can stay outdoors in mild weather.

Wipe it down gently to keep the wicker and wood looking great. Also, be careful not to drag it on rough surfaces as it might damage the wicker or the frame.
