Using this ottoman is super easy. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot, like on a patio or by the pool, and you're ready to sit back and relax. When it comes to cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution to wipe down the wicker. Make sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent any moisture damage. In case of bad weather, it's a good idea to store the ottoman indoors or cover it with a waterproof cover. Avoid dragging it across rough surfaces to keep the wicker and frame in good condition. With proper care, this ottoman will serve you well for a long time.
