Using this accent bench is easy. Just place it in your entryway or any other desired spot. You can sit on it to put on or take off your shoes. To keep it in good condition, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the fabric and the antique white finish. Wipe the bench regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the fabric, if it gets dirty, you can use a mild fabric cleaner and gently blot the stain. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrub too hard as it may damage the fabric and the wood. Check the legs periodically to make sure they are firmly attached. If you move the bench, lift it carefully to avoid scratching the floor or damaging the legs.
