Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before assembly. Ensure a clean, spacious work area.

Assembly requires two people for safety and stability.
Keep small parts away from children to avoid choking hazards.
Do not stand or jump on the ottoman; it is designed for seating and storage.
Ensure all screws are tightened securely to prevent wobbling.
Place on a flat, level surface to ensure stability.

WARNING! The ottoman is heavy; lift with your legs, not your back, to avoid injury.

Step-by-Step Assembly

Estimated assembly time: 20-30 minutes. Follow steps in order.

Attach Legs: Turn the main frame upside down. Align one leg with pre-drilled holes. Secure using 3 screws per leg (provided Allen key). Repeat for all four legs.
Install Hinges: Attach the soft-closing hinge mechanism to the inside rear of the frame using provided screws. Ensure hinges are aligned correctly.
Attach Lid: With help, lift the lid and align it with the installed hinges. Secure lid to hinges using the remaining screws. Test the open/close motion; it should be smooth.
Fit Fabric Cover: Slide the fabric cover over the assembled wooden frame. Ensure it fits snugly around corners and the opening for the lid.
Final Check: Place ottoman upright. Open and close lid several times to ensure proper function. Tighten any loose screws.

CAUTION! Do not overtighten screws, as this may strip the wood.
