Using these ottomans is super easy. Just place them in your outdoor seating area, and you've got a comfortable spot to put your feet up. When it comes to assembly, follow the instructions in the package carefully. For maintenance, clean the wicker part with a soft brush and mild soapy water. The water - resistant cushions can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Keep them out of direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading. If there's a storm coming, it's a good idea to store them indoors or cover them to protect them from the elements. That way, you can enjoy these ottomans for a long time.
