Using your Tahoe Outdoor Patio Ottoman is super easy. Just place it in your desired outdoor area, like beside your pool or near your patio sofa. It's great for kicking back and propping up your feet. When it comes to assembly, follow the simple instructions that come with the set. There are non - marking foot glides on the bottom, so make sure they're in place to protect your deck or patio floor. For the cushion, it's made of weather - resistant fabric, but it's still a good idea to bring it inside during extreme weather conditions. The cushion cover is removable. When it gets dirty, just take it off and toss it in the washing machine for a quick clean. The ottoman can hold up to 331 lbs, so it's sturdy for most uses. Keep it in a dry place when not in use to make it last longer.
