Ottoman
Furniture · Easy
Footrest, extra seat, and storage cube in one. Sagging cushion tops and worn legs are the usual wear — re-cushioning beats replacing on solid frames.
Replacement cost
$30–$300
Typical lifespan
7 yrs
Maintenance
every 3 months
Tools you may need
- Screwdriver
- Allen key (assembly)
Steps
- Assemble legs with all bolts fully seated — half-seated bolts strip.
- Re-torque leg bolts after two weeks of use; floors telegraph wobble.
- Rotate the top cushion monthly for even wear.
- Add felt pads under legs on hard floors.
Maintenance
Re-tighten legs quarterly; vacuum fabric seams monthly. (Suggested interval: every 3 months.)
