Troubleshooting
Ottoman feels wobbly after assembly
Ensure all leg bolts are securely tightened. Gently rock the ottoman to identify loose points and re-tighten. If wobbling persists, check that all legs are evenly attached and on a level surface.
Velvet appears flattened or dull
Gently brush the velvet pile with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap to restore its texture and luster. Regular light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment can also help maintain its appearance.
Difficulty attaching legs during assembly
Check that you are using the correct screws for each leg and aligning them properly with the pre-drilled holes. Do not overtighten initially; hand-tighten all screws, then progressively tighten them fully once all legs are in place.

Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture. Leg Care: Wipe wooden legs with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If scratches occur, wood repair markers can be used.
