2. Carefully place the ottoman body upside down on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching.
3. Attach the steel legs to the designated mounting points on the underside of the ottoman. Align the holes and secure them using the provided screws and Allen key. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly for stability.

Operating Instructions

The VASAGLE EKHO Collection Storage Ottoman Bench is designed for dual functionality: comfortable seating and convenient storage.

Using as a Bench:

The padded top provides a comfortable surface for sitting. It is ideal for use in an entryway for putting on or taking off shoes, as a bedroom bench at the foot of a bed, or as extra seating in a living area. The bench is designed to support a maximum static load of 660 lb (300 kg).

Using for Storage:

To access the storage compartment, gently lift the lid. The dual safety hinges will hold the lid open, preventing it from slamming shut. Place items such as blankets, pillows, books, or other household accessories into the 15-gallon (57L) compartment. Ensure the maximum static load of 132 lb (60 kg) for the storage compartment is not exceeded. Close the lid gently when finished.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your VASAGLE EKHO Collection Storage Ottoman Bench, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic leather surface with a dry cloth to remove dust and light spills. For more stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by drying with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• General Care: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this may cause the material to fade or crack.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.

• Lid Not Closing Properly: Ensure that no items in the storage compartment are obstructing the lid's path. Check the safety hinges for any damage or misalignment.
