Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Ottoman feels unstable or wobbly. | Screws are not fully tightened. Uneven surface. | Ensure all assembly screws are securely tightened. Move the ottoman to a flat, level surface. |
| Cushions slide off easily. | Horn buttons or elastic ropes not engaged. | Ensure the elastic ropes on the cushions are properly attached to the horn buttons on the ottoman frame. |
| Water inside storage compartment. | Exposure to heavy rain. Lid not fully closed. | While the ottomans are weather-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. Avoid leaving items susceptible to water damage inside during heavy rain. Ensure the lid is fully closed. Consider using a waterproof liner for sensitive items or a protective cover for the entire ottoman during inclement weather. |
| Difficulty aligning screw holes during assembly. | Screws were tightened too early. | Loosen all screws completely. Align all parts and insert screws loosely before gradually tightening them all. |
