Important! Check that the wheels are firmly coupled for a strong and reliable frame.

• Measure the diameter of the wheel hole, cut a circle of the same diameter from the foam rubber. Sew foam on the sides of the frame to make the ottoman soft and streamlined in shape.
• Cut a rectangle from foam so that one of its sides coincides with the height of the frame of the future product, and the second corresponds to the length of its circumference. Wrap the foam rubber frame, fasten its ends with a strong thread.
• Close the hole with foam rubber. But first, sew the upper and lower holes with a special mesh or strong fabric, attach foam rubber on top of it.
