Is the internal storage section lined?
The product description mentions 'spacious hidden storage'. Info needed: Typically, internal storage sections are lined with a non-woven fabric. Please check the product upon arrival for specifics.
How long does assembly typically take?

Is the black color a true black or off-black?
The 'Black' colour family indicates a true black finish. However, monitor settings and lighting conditions can sometimes alter perceived colour.
Troubleshooting
Ottoman feels wobbly after assembly
Ensure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened. Gently rock the ottoman to identify loose points, then tighten them. Make sure the wooden feet are installed correctly and are flush with the floor.
Lid does not open/close smoothly
Check the hinge mechanism for any obstructions or misalignment. Ensure screws securing the hinges are tight but not overtightened, which can restrict movement. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the hinges if they are stiff.
Faux leather surface has a scuff mark
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a small amount of non-abrasive faux leather cleaner designed for synthetic materials can be used, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Cannot fit all intended items into storage
Review the items you plan to store. Consider folding blankets more compactly or using soft, flexible storage bags to maximise space. Remember the ottoman is designed for versatile storage, not necessarily very large or rigid items.
Product arrived damaged or with missing parts
Immediately contact customer service with your order details and photos of any damage or a clear description of missing parts. Do not attempt to assemble if critical components are missing or significantly damaged.

Its compact size is particularly advantageous for smaller apartments, studios, or as an accent piece in larger rooms without overwhelming the space.
Care & Maintenance
To keep your Verona Ottoman Bench looking its best:
- Cleaning Faux Leather: Wipe the faux leather surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and then drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the faux leather.
- Dusting: Dust the wooden feet and any non-upholstered parts with a dry cloth.
- Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the faux leather to fade or crack over time.
- Even Weight Distribution: When using as seating, ensure weight is distributed evenly to prevent undue stress on the frame.
- Hinge Maintenance: Occasionally check the lid hinges to ensure they are clean and operating smoothly. If they begin to squeak, a small amount of lubricant designed for furniture hardware can be applied.
