Using this bench is a breeze. Just place it around your dining table, and you're ready to enjoy your meals in style. When it comes to cleaning, you can use a mild soap and a soft cloth to wipe down the linen - like fabric. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the fabric. For the solid wood frame, a simple dusting with a dry cloth regularly will keep it looking great. If there are any spills on the padded seat, clean them up as soon as possible to prevent stains. Also, try not to place heavy objects on the bench for an extended period to maintain its shape and structure. With proper care, this bench will be a long - lasting and stylish addition to your dining area.
