Using this bench is easy. Just place it in your desired spot, whether it's at the entryway, in the living room, or by the window. It's a great place to sit and put on your shoes or to add extra seating for guests. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the wood from fading. Wipe it down regularly with a dry cloth to keep it clean. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the natural finish of the wood.
