Using this ottoman is a breeze. Just place it in your desired outdoor spot, like your patio or backyard. It's perfect for sitting on while chatting with friends or relaxing alone. When it comes to guests, it can comfortably seat multiple people. As for maintenance, since it has weather - resistant upholstery, you don't have to worry too much about light rain or sun exposure. But it's a good idea to cover it during heavy storms or long periods of bad weather. Clean it regularly with a mild soap and water solution to keep it looking its best. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the upholstery or the frame. And if you want to move it around, lift it gently from the base to prevent any damage to the frame or cushions.
