Using this ottoman is a piece of cake. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot, and you're good to go as it doesn't need any assembly. You can use it for lounging by yourself, putting your feet up while reading a book, or when you have guests over. When it comes to cleaning, unzip the cushion covers and wash them as per the care instructions on the label. The ottoman itself can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For long - term use, try to keep it in a covered area during extreme weather conditions. Check the interlocking furniture clips regularly to make sure they're in good condition and providing the necessary stability. This will help your ottoman stay in great shape for years to come.
