Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and extend the life of your Baxton Studio Bridgette Storage Ottoman.
Fabric Care (Polyester):
- For general cleaning, wipe the fabric with a damp cloth.
- For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or bleach, as these can damage the fabric.
- Vacuum regularly using an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.

Wood Leg Care:
- Wipe wood legs with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
- Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes, which can cause wood to fade or crack.
- Periodically check and tighten leg bolts to ensure stability.
Troubleshooting
Loose Legs:
If the ottoman feels wobbly, the legs may have loosened over time. Turn the ottoman upside down and use the Allen wrench to re-tighten the bolts securing each leg. Do not overtighten.
Lid Not Closing Properly:
Ensure that no items inside the storage compartment are obstructing the lid's closing path. Check the hinges for any signs of damage or misalignment. If hinges are damaged, contact customer support for assistance.
